Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

This work comprises the history of the Argentinian Navy.

Illustrated throughout with full plate and vignette illustrations.

Penned by Teodoro Caillet Bois (1879-1949), a historian and naval officer who served in the Argentinian Navy. 

Contains a newspaper clipping of an article by the author dated December 1945.

This work is in the original Spanish language.

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 travel, geography and polar exploration in particular.

Condition

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally very smart, spine is a touch discoloured as to be expected, otherwise minor wear. Ownership bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally firmly bound, pages are a touch age toned but generally bright and clean. Offsetting to pages 424 and 425, where a newspaper clipping has been left.

Very Good Indeed
