Erstausgabe
[Arctic Travel and Hunting] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (23 x 17cm), pp.xiv; 320. With 53 half-tone plates, including a frontispiece of the author, and two folding maps at rear. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt titles and decoration to spine, and a gilt illustration stamped to upper board. With the plain photographic dust-jacket priced at 20s (£1). Bookseller's ticket to pastedown. Light internal spotting; heavier to edges. Maps a little misfolded. Slight damp-marking to boards. Jacket features a number of significant losses, as well as closed tears and chips, though both flaps and the rear blurb are fully intact, as is the cover image. Very rarely seen with the jacket in any condition. Very good. Mason's first adventure took him to Canada in 1920, and he produced this book after spending two years observing the local tribes and hunting the wildlife. He also adds a selection of stories he'd come across on his travels, including a miners prize-fight. Arctic Bibliography 11040.
