Condition: Good. Prospectus, 8.5" x 5.5", Folded Sheet, With Sample Black and White Photograph, VG.Provenance: Herb Yellin (1935-2014) was the highly respected publisher and founder of Lord John Press, considered by many to be one of the most important small presses of the 20th century. His close personal relationships with many… significant writers resulted in an impressive number of unique, collectible, signed limited edition books. Working with some of modern literature's biggest names?Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, John Updike, Eudora Welty, and Joyce Carol Oates among them?and entertaining his personal fascination with Hollywood, Yellin was able to create a new realm for Lord John Press combining the two fields; several books, including The Lord John Film Festival, were the result.

4to. "28" (but: 24) pp. With a woodcut vignette on the title-page and 2 decorated woodcut initials. Disbound, loosely inserted in 20th-century plain brown paper wrappers. Rare second edition, under a different title, of an eyewitness report of the dramatic shipwreck of the Arnhem, a Dutch East Indiaman built in 1654 for the VOC.… The report was written by Simon van den Kerkhoven, a religious comforter to the sick ("Siecken-trooster") on board and one of the shipwreck's survivors. - The "ziekentrooster" was a religious office within the Dutch Protestant church since the 16th century. Generally, the person fulfilling this duty was not an official member of the clergy, but when in service of the major trading companies VOC and WIC, they received a special status which permitted them to perform religious duties such as administering the sacraments. - The account of the shipwreck of the Arnhem was first published in Middelburg by Jacques Fierens in 1663 under the title, "Historisch verhael, der wonderlike ende seer zeldsame voor-vallen, den gene bejegent die met het retour-schip Aernhem, van Batavia na het vaderland verreist zyn den 23 decem. 1661". The present second edition claims on its title-page that the author is Johannes van Kerckhoven: this appears to be a mistake, for the first edition, the present preface and the signature at the end of the account in the present pamphlet all mention Simon van den Kerkhoven. Another difference between the two editions can be found in the preliminaries: the dedication to the directors of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC is replaced by a rhymed preface in Dutch, titled and signed "Aen den leser, door Simon van den Kerckhoven, van Middelburgh; secken-trooster". - On 23 December 1661, the Dutch East Indiaman Arnhem left Batavia in the Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia) and set sail for the Low Countries, together with six other ships under the command of the Dutch admiral Arnold de Vlamingh van Oudtshoorn (1618-62). In February 1662, on their way to the Cape of Good Hope, the fleet was scattered by a storm. Three ships disappeared without a trace, while the Arnhem ran aground on the Cargados Carajos shoals in the Indian Ocean. Most of the crew managed to leave the ship in a small boat carrying twelve and on a larger vessel carrying about 100; both headed for Mauritius. Many died on that journey, and once ashore the group was further diminished and scattered. The surviving crew were able to leave Mauritius in small groups by boarding ships calling at the victualling station on the island. Curiously, the surviving crew members of the Arnhem are now presumed to have been the last people to have seen live dodos. - One of the survivors, the Dutch sailor Andries Stokram, published the first report of this shipwreck in May 1663, in which the officers were blamed for the ship's sinking. They were also charged with having pushed men overboard from the lifeboat. Another survivor, the Dutch bookkeeper Johan van Hal, refuted these accusations in his report, also published in 1663. That same year, Van den Kerkhoven's report appeared in which he supported the charges of Stokram and held the officers responsible. - Wrappers damaged along the fold of the spine, internally occasionally slightly browned, otherwise in good condition. - Cat.

The report was written by Simon van den Kerkhoven, a religious comforter to the sick ("Siecken-trooster") on board and one of the shipwreck's survivors. The "ziekentroo…ster" was a religious office within the Dutch Protestant church in the 16th- to 20th centuries. Generally, the person fulfilling its duty was not an official member of the clergy, but when in service of the major trading companies (VOC and WIC) they received a special status which permitted them to perform clerical duties like administering the sacraments.The account of the shipwreck of the Arnhem was first published in Middelburg by Jacques Fierens in 1663 under the title: Historisch verhael, der wonderlike ende seer zeldsame voor-vallen, den gene bejegent die met het retour-schip Aernhem, van Batavia na het vaderland verreist zyn den 23 decem. 1661. The present second edition claims on the title page that the name of the author is Johannes van Kerckhoven, this appears to be a mistake as both the first edition, the present preface and the signature at the end of the account in the present pamphlet mention Simon van den Kerkhoven. Another difference between the two editions can be found in the preliminaries: the dedication to the directors of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC is replaced by a rhymed preface in Dutch, titled and signed "Aen den leser, door Simon van den Kerckhoven, van Middelburgh; secken-trooster".On 23 December 1661, the Dutch East Indiaman Arnhem left Batavia in the Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia) and set sail for the Low Countries, together with 6 other ships under the command of the Dutch Admiral Arnold de Vlamingh van Oudtshoorn (1618-1662). In February 1662, on their way to Cape of Good Hope, the fleet was caught in a storm and was scattered. Three ships disappeared without a trace, while the Arnhem ran aground on the Cargados Carajos shoals in the Indian Ocean. Most of the crew managed to leave the ship in a small boat carrying 12 and a larger vessel carrying about 100 both headed for Mauritius, many died on that journey and once back ashore the group further diminished and scattered in their attempt to survive. The surviving crew were able to leave Mauritius in small groups by boarding ships calling at the victualing station on the island. Curiously, the surviving crew members of the Arnhem are now presumed to have been the last people to have seen live dodos.One of the survivors, Dutch sailor Andries Stokram, published the first report of this shipwreck in May 1663, in which the officers were blamed for the ship's sinking. They were also held responsible for putting men overboard from the lifeboat. Another survivor, the Dutch bookkeeper Johan van Hal, refuted these accusations in his report, which was also published in 1663. In this same year, Van den Kerkhoven's report appeared in which he supported the charges of Stokram and held the officers responsible.The paper wrapper is damaged along the fold of the spine, internally occasionally slightly browned.
