No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. This is a splendid opportunity to purchase a charming portrait of an eccentric personage. Despite owning a farm it seemed to many that Baron D'Aguilar did so for no purpose. For he appeared not to feed his animals and his farm became known as Starvation Farm for obvious reasons.

The piece relates to 'the death by starvation of Commander A. Gardiner and the whole of the party sent out by the Patagonian Missionary Society in September 1850, to Picton Island, the southern extremity of America'. '3 columns, each 13½ inches by 2¾, attached to a piece of grey paper, and a fourth column, 3¾ inches by 2¾, attac…hed to another piece. Discoloured and with minor spotting but in good condition overall. The article consists exclusively of transcriptions of two letters from Captain W. H. Morshead, H.M.S. Dido, at sea, 22 January and 21 February 1852, and of a covering letter from Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, H.M.S. Portland, at Valparaiso, 21 February 1852. See Image. Note:"The Patagonian Mission, founded in 1844 by Captain Allen Gardiner, was the precursor to the South American Missionary Society (SAMS), an Anglican mission focused on bringing Christianity to the peoples of Patagonia. Although Gardiner and his companions tragically died of starvation and scurvy in 1851 during a disastrous expedition to Tierra del Fuego, their sacrifice inspired the organization. The mission continued, eventually expanding its scope, renaming itself SAMS in 1864 to reflect its broadened work across the continent." [AI Overview].
