Sobre este item
London: Andrew Melrose, Ltd., [1919]. xxi,183 pp. Octavo. Original blue gilt decorated cloth. Many illustrations in text from photos. 8 maps and diagrams including a folding map at the end. Off setting on the title page from the tissue guard as usual. Bookplate on the front pastedown. Edges a bit foxed otherwise a clean copy. Spine and front board lettering a bit dull as usual. A far better copy than normal, without the usual bubbling of the cloth. Rosove 87.A1.9; Spence 384. "As captain of the Aurora during Mawson's 1911-14 expedition, Davis was able to produce one of the few first-hand accounts available in print. His publishers, however, clearly had wartime difficulties with the book, most often seen today with its gilt lettering and decoration badly faded" (Taurus). A scarce account in collectable condition. 1919
