Description:
London: William Heinemann, 1900. 1st edition. Hardcover. pp. xxiv, 478. Royal 8vo. Bound in original grey-green cloth with gilt spine lettering. The white lettering and 'ship in the ice' design to the front board are bright. All colour plates, maps, photos present. Bookplate of C. W. Blackburn affixed to inside front board. The cloth shows some soiling and rubbing to the extremities. The binding is shaken. The rear hinge is just starting but holding nicely. Some spotting and soiling to interior pages, mainly to the first 75, or so, where it occurs. In all, still a good copy of a scarce edition, and a cracking good read. Renard 359 notes that 'apart from the imprint the book is identical to the first (U.S.) edition and the sheets were printed in America. This issue (i.e. the Heinemann imprint) appears to be considerably scarcer than the U.S. imprint'. This copy compares to Rosove 76.A3.,variant b.

Frontis portrait. many B&W plates from photos, and illustrations in text from drawings (including map) an attractive copy. Spence 312. Narrative of the voyage of the Belgica in the Antarctic under Gerlache, and the only published first-person account of this expedition. Cook served as surgeon and anthropologist, and Roald Amundsen (then little known) was first mate. This second edition from 1909 seems to be an exact reprint except the publisher failed to reprint pages xv-xxiv. From the introduction, not included the four coloured plates and added a frontis portrait of Cook instead. This printing is much scarcer than the original of 1900. 1909
