A propos de cet article

HILLARY, Edmund. High Adventure. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1955. First edition, first impression. Signed by Edmund Hillary in blue ink on the front free endpaper. Hillary’s first book and his personal account of the mountaineering career that culminated in the first confirmed ascent of Mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay on 29 May 1953. Particularly desirable for Hillary’s early signature, “E. P. Hillary”, the form found on contemporary 1950s examples and encountered less frequently than the later “Ed Hillary” signature with which he became widely associated. Beginning with his first experiences in the mountains, Hillary traces the 1951 Everest reconnaissance, the exploration of Cho Oyu, the Swiss attempt on Everest in 1952 and, finally, the successful British expedition of 1953. His account gives a direct record of the South Col route, the icefall, high camps and final summit push. Octavo, 224 pages. Illustrated with a colour photographic frontispiece, numerous black-and-white photographic plates, maps, diagrams and line drawings. Bound in the original blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, retaining the original pictorial dust jacket priced 16s net. Jacket and binding with age-related wear as shown in the photographs.…

Description de la boutique

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
