The 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games gold prize medal awarded to the British swimmer Jennie Fletcher for the 100 metres Freestyle Relay, 33.5mm, struck in silver-gilt (as usual for 1912 1st Place team awards), designed by Erik Lindberg and Bertram Mackennal, two maidens crowning a victorious athlete, the reverse with a herald proclaiming the Olympic Games, Jennie Fletcher became Britain’s first female Olympic swimming medallist when she won an individual bronze in the 1912 100 metres freestyle final behind two Australians (Fanny Durack, who was using the then brand-new ‘Australian Crawl’ technique, and Mina (Wilhelmina) Wylie). In the relay event gold went to the British team of Bella Moore, Jennie, Annie Speirs and Irene Steer ahead of West Germany and Austria. Jennie swam an outstanding second leg to help earn the British girls a World Record as well as Olympic victory. Born on 19 March, 1890 in Leicester, the seventh of nine children in a family of five girls and four boys, Jennie Fletcher attended Mellow Street Board School and participated as often as possible in swimming competitions and exercises. She later wrote: “Swimming to me was my greatest pleasure and no encouragement was needed for me to compete in polo, diving or swimming. There was no mixed swimming in those days but with special permission my brother Ben was allowed to pace me.” From the age of 11 she was coached at Leicester’s Cossington Street Baths by the celebrated Jack Jarvis, whose characteristic freestyle employing the ‘Jarvis-Nuttall Kick’ had already brought him numerous awards (including two Olympic gold medals for the 1,000 and 4,000 metre open water races swum in the River Seine, Paris, in 1900). Jennie recalled: “Most of the early swimming was single arm and trudgen with the scissors kick going to the crawl in the latter stages. My training was not regimented but consisted of long walks, [and] skipping accompanied by deep breathing exercises.” In 1906, at the age of 34, Jarvis added a silver and two bronze medals to his own Olympic tally in the interim Athens Games, by which time Jennie was challenging for her first British record for the Ladies’ 100 yards freestyle. She went on to win 6 Amateur Swimming Association titles for the distance before 1912, setting a new world record in 1909. Working long hours with her father, who nevertheless gave her great support and encouragement as an amateur, she succeeded in winning numerous trophies and awards. She retained the Dewar Shield after winning it three years in succession, broke her own record on 11 occasions, and became British champion 6 times. At the London Olympics of 1908 it was decided, after much deliberation, that swimming competition for Ladies would be permitted; however uncertainty and a late decision meant that in the event there were too few entries to proceed. At the time this must have come as a huge disappointment for Jennie, whose parents had recently declined on her behalf the opportunity of a professional tour of America with the celebrated Annette Kellerman. At Stockholm in 1912, however, there was a strong British Ladies’ contingent, chaperoned by Jack Jarvis’s sister. Jennie later said: “The crowning moment of my career was when King Gustav of Sweden placed the classic laurel wreath on my head, put the gold medal round my neck, and said, ‘Well done, England!’”. In 1917 Jennie married Henry Hill Hyslop and the couple settled in Canada, where they farmed and had six children. Jennie died in 1968. Provenance: Bequeathed by the recipient Jennie Hyslop, née Fletcher, to her son Henry Irving Hyslop (1920-2000); bequeathed in turn by H.I. Hyslop to his daughter (and Jennie’s granddaughter) Heather, on behalf of whom it is now offered for sale. A copy of H.I. Hyslop’s Will, including codicil dated 1994 specifying the bequest to Heather of “… my mother’s gold medal from the 1912 Olympics… “ is included in the lot, together with a contemporary portrait postcard captioned ‘Jennie Fletcher Worlds 100 yds Champion’, showing Jennie wearing Leicester Ladies’ Swimming Club costume and a championship medal (see illustration). Copies of other relating documents, including a letter written by Jennie in 1965 to the compiler of a sports encyclopedia, are also offered with the lot. Other items of memorabilia relating to Jennie’s swimming career, including her Olympic laurel wreath, were donated by her daughter to the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Title Pages (Le Monde ou la Description Generalle de ses Quatres Parties…), 1660. 8 x 12.5”. (HC) This title page comes from the well-known history and geography series by Pierre Davity (or d`Avity), sieur de Montmartin, who was a French writer, historian and geographer. After serving in the French military, Davity decided to write an encyclopedia on the history and geography of France, which he later expanded to include all regions of the world. After his death in 1635, Davity`s popular work was republished many times and expanded to six volumes, including this edition with revisions by Jean-Baptiste de Rocoles, published by Denis Bechet and Louis Billaine. This title page features miniature maps of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, with four male figures representing each of the continents. A French cavalryman wearing a laurel crown fills the upper portion. Lovely color with a few minor spots and some tiny abrasions in the map of Asia and below it. Trimmed close to neatlines, but still ample room for framing. There is a printer`s crease at bottom right and a couple of extraneous creases that have been pressed flat. Backed with tissue. (+B)

North Pacific Ocean ([Lot of 3] Carte Generale des Decouvertes de l`Amiral de Fonte… [and] Nouvelle Representation des Cotes Nord… [and] Partie de la Carte du Capitaine Cluny…), Robert de Vaugondy, Diderot`s Encyclopedia (Supplement), Paris, [1772]. x ”. (BW) Three great maps from this interesting series prepared by Didier Robert de Vaugondy. A. Carte Generale des Decouvertes de l`Amiral de Fonte, et Autres Navigateurs Espagnols, Anglois et Russes pour la Recherche du Passage a la Mer du Sud, dated 1752 (15" x 11.3"). This is one of the more remarkable combinations of fact and fiction ever published. This map of the North Pacific and Northwest had as its source a 1708 article in the Monthly Miscellany that purported to be a newly discovered account of a voyage in 1640 by the Spanish Admiral, Bartholomew de Fonte. Thereafter, the newly presented information was changed and elaborated upon, notably by this series of maps which appeared in Diderot`s Encyclopedia. In its concept, it promoted the hopes of a Northwest Passage and depicts the existence of Mer de l`Ouest or the Sea of the West. The tracks for the Russian exploration in 1741 and other explorers are traced in the Pacific. Inset at upper left is a small map, "Carte dressee Sur la lettre de l`Amiral de Fonte par l`Ecrivain de la Californie" detailing the purported track of Admiral de Fonte. The title credits Delisle as the source for the map. There was much controversy at the time regarding the veracity of the voyages by de Fonte. In 1750, Joseph-Nicolas Delisle presented a paper and map at the Academy of Sciences in Paris that consolidated the vast amount of geographical information he had acquired in Russia. The paper caused a sensation, but the map, drawn by Philippe Buache and designed to show the "coherence of Russian discoveries with those of de la Fuente" (de Fonte), was met with skepticism. Delisle hired Bellin to re-work the map, presenting it to the Academy in 1752. That same year an annoyed Buache drew his own map and presented it along with a paper to the Academy. The controversy was further enflamed by Robert de Vaugondy`s own presentation to the Academy the following year when he expressed his doubts about the truth of de Fonte’s voyages and criticized the maps illustrating it. See Pedley pages 74-78 for more on the politics and personalities in this fascinating story. Ref: Hayes pp. 26-27; Pedley no.454. Condition: Watermarked paper with wide margins, light centerfold toning and a spot in inset map at top left. (B+) B. Nouvelle Representation des Cotes Nord et Est de l`Asie, pour Servir d`Eclaircissement aux Articles du Supplement de l`Encyclopedie qui Concernent le Passage aux Indes par le Nord. Gravee sous la Direction de Mr. de Vaugondy en 1772, dated 1772 (14" x 11.3"). Interesting map of the northeast coast of Asia depicting Kamchatka, Japan and Korea. It also shows part of what is present-day Alaska. The Tchutski (Chukotskiy) Peninsula stretches very close to the American landmass, hinting at a possible land bridge. Within the larger map are two insets (one within the other). The insets represent an evolving understanding of the geography of Kamachatka, with the map being the latest iteration. The first inset, No. 1, was completed by Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur, who was the ruler of Khiva in present-day Uzbekistan for 20 years. Ref: Pedley no.402. Condition: Watermarked paper with wide margins and a spot in bottom blank margin, far from map image. (A) C. Partie de la Carte du Capitaine Cluny Auteur d`un ouvrage anglois intitule American Traveller, dated 1769 (19.5" x 11.5"). While this fascinating map covers the Arctic from Asia through Europe, the focus of the map is the Arctic region of North America. The most important feature of the map is the early depiction of what is present-day Alaska, patterned after Muller`s epic map of 1750 that was the first to show the Russian discoveries, also noted here. A very interesting Northwest Passage is shown going from Repulse Bay in the north part of Hudson`s Bay into the Arctic Ocean at Cape Fowler. (19 x 11.5") Ref: Pedley no.460. Condition: Watermarked paper with faint toning along folds, else fine. (A) See description. ()
