Rare original dinner menu from the historic luncheon tendered to Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton by The Explorers Club at the Hotel Astor, New York on Tuesday, March 29th 1910. Small octavo, original wrappers, one-page menu with a black and white portrait of Shackleton tipped in. Signed by Shackleton, "E.H. Shackleton" and American Admiral Robert E. Peary, "R.E. Peary" below the portrait. American Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary made several expeditions to the Arctic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is widely recognized as the first person to reach the geographic North Pole with his expedition on April 6, 1909. Nearly one year prior, on January 16th 1909, Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition team established a new record Farthest South latitude 97 geographical miles from the magnetic South Pole, the largest advance to the pole in exploration history. Although the party fell short of reaching the true pole, they returned home to public honors from King Edward VII and the Royal Geographical Society. In March of 1910, Shackleton arrived in New York where he was honored by the Explorer's Club of which Peary had recently become President. The luncheon was described by The New York Times as ".an informal one, designed to give Sir Ernest an opportunity of meeting the men in this country who have worked on the same lines as he has. Commander Peary, President of the club, was in the chair and hanging on the wall behind him between the Stars and Stripes and the blue ensign of the British Royal Naval Reserve, in which Shackleton is a Lieutenant, were the sledge and snowshoes used in the North Pole expedition." In near fine condition. An exceptional association linking two great leaders of polar exploration. In 1909, Shackleton's Nimrod expedition made it to within 97 miles of the South Pole, experiencing along the way every hardship possible, then returning to their wooden ship before the ice crushed it. On Shackleton's return home, public honors were quickly forthcoming and soon afterwards he published his legendary expedition account, Heart of the Antarctic. In the period immediately after his return, Shackleton engaged in a strenuous schedule of public appearances, lectures, and business ventures. None were successful, however, so in 1914, he published details of a new expedition grandly titled the "Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition" aboard the ship Endurance which would make the first crossing of the Antarctic continentâ "1800 miles from sea to sea. 1915 turned into an unusually icy year in Antarctica and after drifting trapped in the ice for nine months, the Endurance was crushed in the ice on October 27th. â Shackleton now showed his supreme qualities of leadershipâ ¦with five companions he made a voyage of 800 miles in a 22-foot boat through some of the stormiest seas in the world, crossed the unknown lofty interior of South Georgia, and reached a Norwegian whaling station on the north coast. After three attemptsâ ¦ Shackleton succeeded (30 August 1916) in rescuing the rest of the Endurance party and bringing them to South Americaâ (DNB).

Erstausgabe
First collected edition of the most important contemporary record of everyday life during the heroic age of polar exploration. Volumes I and II are both number 207 of 250 copies only, volume III number 149 of 350 copies only. The scarce original letterpress broadside prospectus accompanies this set. "A visually exact reproduction of The South Polar Times originally issued during the Antarctic expeditions of Robert F. Scott, the first two volumes were published in 1907 with a preface by Scott. The original had been edited and printed by Ernest Shackleton who produced five issues between April and August 1902, each in a single typewritten copy. After Scott sent Shackleton home in March 1903 the next volume was edited by Louis Bernacchi, from April to August. Edward Wilson was the principal illustrator, though contributions and illustrations came from both officers and crew" (Books on Ice). The last volume was edited by Apsley Cherry-Garrard during Scott's last expedition of 1911 and published in 1914. Together they form what is perhaps the most personal of the printed documents to have come out of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, revealing the often-contradictory aspects of the participant's personalities. As Scott explained in his preface, publication was proposed in "March 1902 [when] we were busily preparing for our first Antarctic winter as we watched the sun sinking towards its long rest. We knew that daylight would shortly disappear for four whole months, and our thoughts turned naturally to the long dark period before us and the means by which we could lighten its monotony". The expedition scientists were to "write luminously on their special subjects, and to record scientific events of general interest", while "lighter matter" indulging "any shy vein of sentiment or humour that might exist among us" was encouraged under "the cloak of anonymity". The exercise certainly seems to have achieved its aim, as Scott recounts: "I can see again a row of heads bent over a fresh monthly number to scan the latest efforts of our artists, and I can hear the hearty laughter at the sallies of our humorists and the general chaff when some sly allusion found its way home." Bright, handleable sets are distinctly uncommon. The weight of the text-blocks, which would tax even traditionally bound volumes, has in most cases proved too much for the gutta percha, which is "now mostly perished" (Taurus). In this set, the offsetting from the chromolithographs is minimal and the handsome bindings, with finely coloured printed scenes and striking gilt-work, remain free of scratching and scuffing. Books on Ice 7.7; Rosove 287 and 291.A2.; Spence 1090 (prospectus) and 1094 (books); Taurus 42 & 79. Three volumes, quarto. Original dark blue cloth, spines and front covers lettered in gilt, inset coloured pictorial decoration on front covers within gilt rope-twist borders, all edges gilt. Housed in similar dark blue custom fleece-lined slipcases. Profusely illustrated with full-page illustrations, including a number from Ponting photographs, and a folding map, numerous illustrations in the text. Primarily offsetting from first illustration in vols. I and II, occasional foxing, mostly to endpapers in vols. I and III, neat paper repair to front pastedown of vol. III. The contents generally clean, sound and unshaken, the gutta-percha binding remaining solid. An excellent set.
