Through the First Antarctic Night, 1898-1899: A Narrative of the Voyage of the 'Belgica' Among Newly Discovered Lands and over an Unknown Sea About the South Pole; with an Appendix Containing a Summary of the Scientific

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. .
