A propos de cet article

Publication: London, Methuen & Co., 1899 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xvi, 390. Condition Report: Very Good. The book maintains its structural integrity, having been securely rebound in modern, plain maroon buckram with crisp gilt lettering to the spine. Because of this recent rebinding, the hinges and joints are flawless, and the boards show virtually no signs of wear, bumping, or handling. The modern replacement endpapers remain similarly crisp and unblemished. While the exterior is essentially pristine, the book earns a 'Very Good' grade due to the internal condition of the original text block; the untrimmed fore and lower edges display age-typical toning, and the pages exhibit occasional faint marks and slight signs of careful previous use, though they remain largely clean and highly legible overall. The frontispiece and its protective tissue guard are fully intact. Catalogue Note: First edition. This copy of Fitz Gerald's celebrated South American expedition is heavily illustrated, featuring a photogravure frontispiece, numerous photographic and engraved plates, two large folding maps, and a fold-out panorama. While this volume lacks its original publisher's cloth, having been fully rebound for preservation, it presents an excellent, highly durable reading and reference copy of an increasingly scarce mountaineering classic. The robust, modern binding guarantees the longevity of the text block and illustrated contents. First printings of this foundational Andes ascent remain highly sought after by collectors of Victorian alpine exploration. The Highest Andes provides a gripping, detailed account of Edward Arthur Fitz Gerald’s pioneering 1896—1897 expedition to South America, which resulted in the historic first successful ascents of both Aconcagua and Tupungato. Beyond its thrilling narrative of human endurance against severe altitude and unforgiving elements, the volume serves as a rigorous scientific record. Supported by expert contributions on the region's geology, flora, and fauna, alongside early mountain photography, Fitz Gerald’s work stands as a monumental achievement in the literature of high-altitude exploration. …
