A propos de cet article

1st Edition; This copy is 243 of a limited edition of 350. Volume 1 & 2 were Scott's 1st "Discovery Expedition" whilst this Volume 3 is from his 2nd "Terra Nova" Expedition. Although often sold as a set Volume 3 is a complete book in its' own right. (The original broadsheets were produced at Cape Evans to amuse the men on the 'Terra Nova' Expedition.) It was designed to be published separately from Volume 1 & 2. Cherry-Garrard was the Editor and typist and Wilson the main illustrator. The 1st issue was presented on Midwinter's Day 1911, the 2nd on 8th September and the 3rd on 15th October. Content included poetry, humorous articles, illustrations of sledging flags and caricatures. Includes Wilson's moving poem 'The Barrier Silence' and Ponting's hilarious tongue twister 'The Sleeping Bag'. Original covers, all page edges gilt. Copiously illustrated drawings in the text and full-page plates from sketches and paintings by E. Wilson, H. Ponting, and others. Ex Library with stamps on some pages, (Croydon Library). Spine shaken, gutta-percha binding delicate, some pages loose as is usual with the 1st Edition. (Gutta Percha was used as the binding glue in many early books, it is not a difficult job to remove and reback using modern glues) The South Polar Times was a magazine written and printed by the members of Antarctic Expeditions during the various voyages they undertook. In 1907 the batches were printed and issued in some 250 copies. 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. 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. One of the corner stones of an Antarctic collection. PLEASE NOTE: This book will incur extra postage and insurance charges. Please contact us for a quote. Limited Edition. Quantity Available: 1.
