One of the early pioneers to pilot steam-powered ships into the Arctic, Osborn participated in the 1850-51 expedition (led by Austin) to search for the lost Franklin party. The success of Osborn's steamship in moderate ice, according to the Dictionary of National Biography, "held out new prospects for Arctic navigation," and "led directly to the employment of powerful screw-steamers.

Sobre Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
