First edition. Set during the Klondike Gold Rush, The Call of the Wild drew in part on Egerton Ryerson Young's My Dogs in the Northland (1902). London's experiences in the Yukon, together with his interest in the contrast between civilisation and primitive life, informed the novel's underlying allegorical quality (Kingman, p. 116). The story was initially serialized in The Saturday Post from June to July 1903. Woodbridge 19. Russ Kingman, A Pictorial Life of Jack London, 1979. Octavo. Colour frontispiece with tissue guard, 10 plates, colour-illustrated headpieces, blue full-page and in-text illustrations by Charles Edward Hooper. Title page printed in blue and black. Original green vertically ribbed green cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt and decorated with red, white, and black sled dogs design, blue pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Cloth slightly rubbed, a couple of leaves a little roughly opened, contents clean. A very good copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 190103
