No Binding. Condition: Good. A.S. Forrest (illustrator). 1st Edition. This is nice original pen & ink Artwork drawing, probably done by Archibald Stevenson Forrest (A.S. Forrest), 1869-1963. Depicting the tragic end of English explorer Henry Hudson, based on the events of his final voyage in 1611. The artwork was done for the 1908 book "Our Empire Story: Stories of India and the Greater Colonies" by H. E. Marshall. The Scene: The Abandonment of Henry Hudson illustrates the moment Hudson, his teenage son John, and several loyal or sick crew members were cast adrift in a small open boat in what is now Hudson Bay, Canada. The bearded man at the tiller is Henry Hudson himself, looking back toward his ship, the Discovery. After a brutal winter trapped in ice, the crew mutinied. They forced Hudson and the others into the boat with few supplies, then sailed away, leaving them to perish in the Arctic waters. The artist, A.S. Forrest, uses sharp line work to emphasize the desolate icebergs in the background and the huddled, defeated posture of the abandoned men. In H.E. Marshall's Our Empire Story, this image accompanies the chapter titled "The Adventures of Henry Hudson." It serves as a dramatic conclusion to the story of his search for the Northwest Passage. No trace of Hudson or his companions was ever found, making this one of the most famous mysteries in the history of exploration. the handwritten title at the bottom ("Hudson's Last Voyage") was used as a reference for the book's typesetters. the artwork is done on thick art card measuring 10.5 inches by 7.5 inches approx. Some marking to the edges else in good general condition. This is a lighter item, shipping overseas costs will be reduced accordingly at.

Stanley, the explorer who "found Livingstone" and carried on his work of exploration and abolishment of the slave trade. The author claims to be a childhood playmate of Stanley, who he says was actually a native of Ysgar South Wales named Howell Jones. Despite the fact that it is now widely accepted that Stanley was born John Rowlands in Denbigh, North Wales, this fascinating little volume depicts a tale of what might have been, purportedly written with "the kind permission of Henry M. Stanley" [preface]. This is one of the many early "speculations" on the Stanley's formative years, arising out of the hero-worship which surrounded him. Whether fiction or fact, this book is both an interesting and amusing commentary on Stanley's life.
