Antarctic Adventure.

1 / 6

Antarctic Adventure.

An account of Scott's Terra Nova expedition, here covering the wild adventures and amazing survival of the so-called Northern Party – an episode which may in our time achieve greater popularity than the dour tragedy of Scott's polar march. A letter from Priestley survives in which he says that many copies of this first printing were destroyed in a warehouse fire.

First edition; 8vo (23 x 15 cm); frontispiece with tissue guard, 150 photographic illustrations, 3 folding maps; original light blue cloth, silver gilt lettering and pictorial vignettes to spine and upper board, top edge gilt, extremities a little rubbed, a few scuffs to upper board, spine faded, a little cocked, internally a very good copy; 382pp.

Taurus 80; Rosove 256.A1; Conrad p186; Spence 939.
