Wilson, eighteen coloured plates (sixteen from drawings by Dr. Wilson), two hundred and sixty full-page and smaller illustrations, from photographs taken by Herbert G.

    The official account of the famed expedition to Antarctica lead by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, written by Leonard Huxley and Sir Clements R. Markham. The work was compiled from the journals of Captain Scott and the scientific reports undertaken by Dr E. A Wilson. The expedition aimed to continue the scientific work they had started during their previous expedition, with the hopes of being the first people to reach the geographic South Pole. The Expedition met a tragic end, with Scott and his party dying on the return journey from the Pole, with their journals and photographs being found later by a search party.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with minimal rubbing to the extremities and joints and the odd very small closed tear to the head and tails of the spines, and slight bumping to the extremities. Minimal spotting to the endpapers with owner's signature to the front free endpaper. Internally, binding strained between pp.112 and113, with two plates disbound but present, otherwise firm. Pages generally bright with light scattered spotting throughout and the odd very minor tidemark to the odd plate.

    Very Good
