Title
A name given to the resource
Enlarging the prospects of happiness: European travel writing through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Discoveries of new places, customs and climates always fascinate. While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.
The exhibition curated by Dr Shef Rogers and was opened on Thursday 20 June 2002 at 5.30pm.

The Town of Valparaiso on the Coast of Chili
Description
An account of the resource
These two illustrations provide a concise summation of European associations with North and South America and of the range of Vancouver's explorations along the eastern shores of the Pacific. To the north is the vast unpeopled landscape of the Pacific northwest (and mountains hiding Northwest Passages), while to the south is the Spanish port of Valparaiso, where 'all conspired at once to announce, that we were again approaching towards the civilized world' (6.236). These images also aim for a high degree of verisimilitude, to complement Vancouver's constant quest for accuracy, a trait he may well have learned from his captain while sailing on Cook's second and third voyages.

Description
An account of the resource
This early version of the coffee-table book provides interesting insights into assumptions about Italian life, with its lively images of landmarks, religious processions, and peasant life. Given the French title and lack of publishing information, it is likely that a traveller collected the pictures individually, and then had them coloured and bound upon return home, much as we do with the modern photo album.

Maps of the poles
Description
An account of the resource
These two maps show how little was known about Antarctica as late as 1825. Weddell managed to sail just over 200 miles farther south than Cook before fleeing the impending winter, and his record was not bettered until 1911. His book was revised and enlarged in 1827, following another voyage to Antarctica, and his legacy remains in the names of the Weddell Sea and the Weddell Seal.

Waterton's Wanderings
Description
An account of the resource
This book first appeared in 1825, though this edition, with its handsome binding, was printed much later, probably in 1894. Although Waterton's style is clearly dated and, to our ears, rather pompous, his work has been often reprinted even in the twentieth century, and his voice is engagingly enthusiastic once you accept the preachiness:
"Cast thine eye around thee, and see the thousands of Nature's productions. . . . What a noble field, kind reader, for thy experimental philosophy and speculations, for thy learning, for thy perseverance, for thy kind-heartedness, for everything that is great and good within thee! (32-33)"
Somewhat surprisingly in light of this lofty rhetoric, Waterton's initial interest in his travels was to learn about native poisons.
This edition concludes with sixteen pages of advertisements for 'Blackie's Story Books for Boys', indicating that the publishers thought readers of their day might appreciate the adventures more than the admonitions.

Drawing upon knowledge gained from several trips to Italy, he published engravings of the highlights and thus embarked on a most successful career as an illustrator of travel, issuing later collections on Paris, French sea ports, and chateaus. This particular volume is his second set of Italian engravings.

While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.

Title
A name given to the resource
A book for the tourist
Description
An account of the resource
This curious book proved very popular in its day, perhaps because a traveller following its prescriptions could be sure of returning with much new knowledge and a broader understanding of the world. That is, if he survived the cool reactions of the many locals whom he would have to pester in order to elicit the detailed information Berchtold recommends collecting.

Thicknesse's account
Description
An account of the resource
Another popular account, Thicknesse proceeds more regularly than Pratt or Sterne, but their influence and elements of the picturesque are evident in the looming hills and the pious or pitiable pilgrims in the foreground. This account exemplifies the popularity of the walking tour, presented as a series of letters that permits a more personal narrative.

An account of the resource
Typical of a whole class of spiritual guides to Rome, this little volume lists the holy sights and quantifies the redemptive value of visiting each in terms of indulgences and remission of sins. If one had only a limited time to spend in Rome, such a guide no doubt repaid its modest purchase price many times over.

Sotheby's musings
Description
An account of the resource
Sotheby's youthful poems eagerly evoke the picturesque, and the engravings added to this second edition only heighten that sensibility. An evocation such as 'Hail, solemn wreck!' (10) does not connote praise, and the beauty of the moonlit ruin proves a refreshing tonic only to the traveller who can leave behind the dilapidation evident by daylight:
the musing mind
Oft 'mid the pensive pleasures that attend
The close of day, with many a mournful thought
Opprest, sad dwells on life's swift passing scene,
And dreams of bliss delusive. . . . (11-12)

The Natives of the Caribee Islands feasting on human Flesh
Description
An account of the resource
Smollett is best known as a novelist and historian, but his collection of voyages was popular during the second half of the eighteenth century. In his own travels, Smollett was a very grumpy character, but he clearly possessed a good idea of what his readers were after. These two engravings encompass the range of those readerly interests: the whale fishery implies a strongly practical and exploitative interest in travel, while the stereotypical cannibal scene, with whole appendages roasting on the grill and a toddler either nibbling on a small bone (imbibing cannibal culture) or nursing (itself a form of consumption of another human, albeit one acceptable to European culture), implies a fascination and/or revulsion surrounding the otherness of the new world.

Title
A name given to the resource
A polite traveller and British navigator
Description
An account of the resource
This 12° book, containing two volumes of an eight-volume collection, highlights the strong interest in circumnavigations among readers of every rank. The frontispiece captures the compelling sense of danger, while the title-page enumerates the well-established pantheon of British heroes of the high seas. And this title-page only describes half the book; the other half describes two polar voyages. Such abridged reprints were well within the reach of the average reader, and judicious extracts ensured that they were frequently more engaging to read than the bulkier and more expensive originals.

Title

Enlarging the prospects of happiness: European travel writing through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Discoveries of new places, customs and climates always fascinate. While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.

Pisa
Description
An account of the resource
Although the tower of Pisa was already leaning by its completion date in 1370, not all seventeenth-century pictures show the slant as clearly as this one. From a family of booksellers, engravers, typographers and cartographers, Pietro Bertelli drew upon the inherited skills and knowledge of his entire family in creating this impressive survey of Italian cities.

Arched Rock, on the Coast of New Zealand
Description
An account of the resource
Sydney Parkinson, botanical draughtsman on Cook's first voyage, died before returning to London, and his papers found their way to the library of Joseph Banks. Parkinson's brother, Stanfield, eventually obtained the papers, after a bitter public quarrel and court battle with Banks and Hawkesworth, and put out this magnificent book. Since it went to a second edition, it is likely that Stanfield made some money from the venture, and ultimately ensured that Sydney Parkinson's depictions of Australia and New Zealand became well-known treasures.

Title
A name given to the resource
Millenium Hall
Description
An account of the resource
Although Millenium Hall is fictional, the title-page presents it as a domestic tour, and the explicitly 'improving' aim of the work is not out of keeping with other travels of its day. John Newbery, to whom Scott dedicates her book, was the first major English publisher of books for children, and she shared his sentimental objectives even though she did not write this book for a younger audience.
The use of an anonymous male pseudonym befits the rather unusual voyeuristic frontispiece (Millenium Hall is a secular convent), but was primarily a way of lending the book, with its strong philosophical arguments for female education, a seriousness that Scott rightly believed a woman novelist's name would not evoke.

Title

Milan
Description
An account of the resource
Not to be outdone by Venice, Pisa and Rome, Milan found her own historian in Carlo Torre. This engraving shows one of the oldest surviving Roman colonnades in the city, but does not lavish too much detail on the surroundings, consigning them to a lighter gray background against which the significant ruin stands out prominently. Nonetheless, the artist could not resist touches of daily life in late seventeenth-century Milan, with sightseers apparently reclining opposite the colonnade to appreciate its artistry.

An account of the resource
The Michelin man seems slightly thin by comparison with his modern counterpart, but the insistent endorsement of Michelin products is as modern as any web-page advertising. At this date, the guides had not yet adopted the star rating system and did not comment on dining establishments. However, the company did give the guides away, a new edition each year, to the extent that 'The Michelin Guides distributed gratis every year would, if placed one upon another, make a pile 60 times as high as St. Paul's Cathedral' (2).

Description
An account of the resource
While Boswell's impressive volume is more historical and topographical than Gilpin or Combe, his title reveals the emphasis readers and publishers placed on the 'views'. The 'pleasing effect' of St. Michael's Mount and its 'agreeable' situation with its 'pleasant and extensive' 'prospect' are not archaeologically or strategically significant, but they certainly make this remote corner of the kingdom worthy of a visit by the discerning tourist. Most of the descriptions of English sites first appeared in the London Magazine from 1747 to 1760.

Enlarging the prospects of happiness: European travel writing through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Discoveries of new places, customs and climates always fascinate. While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.
The exhibition curated by Dr Shef Rogers and was opened on Thursday 20 June 2002 at 5.30pm.
