What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
A fascinating, week-by-week account of Master John Jellard's journey around the world on his barque ship, the 'Avery'. This journey took John Jellard over a year to complete.
He named this ship after his brother-in-law and co-owner, Joseph Clarke Avery.
Containing three plates: a frontispiece portrait of John Jellard, a portrait of Joseph Clarke Avery, and a drawing of the barque, the 'Avery'.
Also containing the bookplate of Harold E. Matthews to the front pastedown and a previous owner's ink signature to the front pastedown.
A newspaper clipping concerning Ronald Avery, the great-nephew of Joseph Clarke Avery, has been tipped in to the front free-endpaper.
This copy came from the library at Julians Park, Hertfordshire, the previous home of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie (1902-1968). She was an English socialite and through her mother was the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII.
