Only one other man of the thousands who strived attained this remote distinction-Amundsen, his friend; and Amundsen is dead. Byrd, now only 41, has capped a lifetime of amazingly productive geographical research by flying over the South Pole. In itself, this flight was the most spectacular thing of the year. But in his larger sphere of action, it took its place as a single phase of a thrilling series of operations on the southern polar continent. Little America is the story of the Byrd Antarctic expedition as told for the first time by its leader. It is a narrative of action and at the same time a record of brilliant scientific achievement. It is, essentially, the story of men who brought their own civilization to a Godforsaken hunk of ice and created on it one of the most extraordinary communities the world has seen." ; ex-library, stamps, labels, library binding ; some wear ; with fold-out map of the Bay of Whales and the South Pole from the Ross Sea ; F.

One of 25 signed and numbered impressions. .Repaired marginal tears and mounted on a support sheeet.efMarcel-Louis Baugniet was a Belgian painter, graphic artist, stage designer, and furniture designer. He was also one of the principal promoters of the Constructivist style and after his return from Paris in 1922, withthe work of the French and Russian avant-garde fresh in his mind, he was determined to rouse Belgiumfrom its artistic torpor and create a new utopian world of functional, elegant and rational form. Whenthe Constructivists fell out of favor with the critics and the public he turned his attention to interiorsand furniture design, and only at the end of his life were his earlier Constructivist paintings rediscovered,exhibited, and celebrated. His early career was heavily influenced by his companion and wife of six years,the avant-garde dancer Akarova (Marguerite Acarin). For her, he produced costumes and stage designs,and inspired by her he created his finest work of graphic art: the series of woodcuts entitled Kaloprosopies.One of his early projects on his return to Belgium was to reform the backward and undistinguishedtradition of Belgian advertising and graphic arts. To that end, in 1922 he founded the advertising firmFulgura, whose style was heavily influenced by contemporary Dutch and Russian posters with their boldand simple lines.
