| Meer info | 8vo, half calf over original boards, worn. With 4 folding maps (The four maps are the same as those that appear in the first edition of the previous year, except the dates are changed). Both volumes have small worm damage, age toning, mild foxing, browning to pages, maps have small tears and are creased. “In 1819, Captain Franklin was appointed to command an expedition to explore by land the North American Arctic and to clarify current notions about its geography...They reached the Arctic Ocean by way of the Great Slave Lake and the Coppermine River in the summer of 1821. After exploring Coronation Gulf, which Franklin named, the expedition returned to York Factory, having experienced extreme hardship and the loss of several members of the party. Franklin’s narrative is of interest not only as a document of human courage and endurance, but also for its depiction of the Indians". Good set. |
