THE SOUTH POLAR TIMES.
SHACKLETON, ERNEST, REGINALD KOETTLITZ, LOUIS C. BERNACCHI and APSLEY CHERRY-GARRARD, editors. The South Polar Times. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1907, 1914.
3 volumes. 4to. Pictorial frontispieces, numerous maps (one of which is folding) and illustrations throughout. Original blue cloth, upper with pictorial inset, stamped in gilt, all edges gilt. Some offset from plates, hinges reinforced, some light spots to endpapers, first volume with tear to head of spine, heads and tails of spines and corners lightly rubbed, some shelfwear.
Provenance: American ornithologist John Eliot Thayer 1862-1933 (bookplates in volumes I and II).
FIRST EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, volumes I and II are no 136 of 250; volume III is no 216 of 350 (1914). A deluxe collection of the magazine issues created by Captain Robert Falcon Scott's crew during the Discovery Expedition and the Terra Nova Expedition. "Once or twice lately we have discussed the possibility of these volumes being interesting to a larger public, though there was no such idea in anyone's mind at the start ... On the one hand, we have some reading matter and many delightful sketches that would be appreciated all; on the other, it has to be remembered that the humour and many of the references are local and would convey little or nothing to the uniformed reader, however much they may appeal to us 'who are in the know'" (Rosove 287.A1 and 291.A2.a). Spence 1094; Taurus 42.
