What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

This work was a monumental review of Antarctic explorations from before Captain Cook to the Norwegian whaling explorations of the 1930s. Written by Bjarne Aagaard, someone who was opposed to the slaughter of whales. 

In the original Norwegian. 

Extremely scarce in the original dustwrapper.

With a large folding map to the rear of the first volume. 

From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back. Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years.  He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations.  His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. With unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, very smart with light shelfwear to the extremities. Dustwrappers are very smart. Some minor chipping to the extremities. A few light spots to the front wrap of volume I.

Very Good Indeed
