A propos de cet article

Copiously illustrated drawings in the text and full-page plates from sketches and paintings by E. Wilson and others. Gutta-percha binding very delicate with leaves just loosening.

The South Polar Times was a magazine written and printed by the members of Antarctic Expeditions during the various voyages they undertook. The South Polar Times form what is perhaps the most personal of the printed documents to have come out of that most remarkable of periods of Antarctic adventures revealing so many often contradictory aspects of these men's various personalities. 'During the Antarctic winter of 1902 and 1903, the officers of the National Antarctic Expedition on board the Discovery, among other diversions wherewith to lighten the long and dreary darkness, brought out at monthly intervals a periodical to which they gave the name of "The South Polar Times" the contents of which range over a wide field, grave and gay, scientific and humorous, prose and poetry. It contains a diary of the events of each month, a record of the proceedings of the local Debating Society, a monthly acrostic, humorous notes, besides articles of a more solid nature, as well as stories, sketches of various kinds, and poems of a standard considerably above average.' One of the corner stones of an Antarctic collection. Volume 1 & 2 were Scott's 1st "Discovery Expedition" Special Limited Edition, first issue in this format. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 5 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Exploration. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 39.
