Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. CONDITION: Fine book. Near Fine slipcase. Very slight shelf wear. DETAILS: Reprint. Print run: 3rd Printing. Illustrated by Herbert Ponting. 27 × 19 × 6 cm. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In November 1910, a ship called Terra Nova left New Zealand on its way south to Antarctica. On board was an international team of explorers led by Robert Falcon Scott, a man determined to be the first to reach the South Pole. A year and a half later, Scott and three members of his team died during a brutal blizzard. Their dream of reaching the Pole first had already been dashed by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, and now on their return trip--slowed by ill health and bad weather--Scott's party found themselves trapped in a tent without sufficient provisions, while the wind howled endlessly outside. Even in his final hours, Scott found the strength to continue the journal he'd started at the beginning of his adventures; the diary was found beside his frozen body. Scott's Last Expedition: The Journals is the explorer's detailed account of his time in Antarctica. The team's daily progress towards their final goal is recorded in Scott's vivid, personal narrative, as well as his impressions of the harsh conditions, the stark beauty of the tundra, and his own increasingly desperate ambition to beat his rivals to the Pole. Shortly before he died, Scott wrote: "Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman." Robert Falcon Scott and his men died, but their story lives on in his journals. Herbert Ponting (illustrator).…

Quarto (24 X 18.5 cm.) Printed on glossy paper. Original staples. Couple of small edge tears. 5 full page illustrations. Front wrapper with a small edge chip on the top corner. A much cleaner copy than normal. a great copy. Herbert Ponting was the "Camera Artist" on Scott's Last expedition and captured some of the most amazing images on film and through cinematography. Once the news of the disaster made it to the world there seemed to have been a frenzy for information from the public and Ponting's lectures and showings were tremendously in demand. It would appear from the film's synopsis that the presentation was in two parts and the theatre must have been a showplace for his amazing images. Enlargements were advertised in the brochure and that the Fine Art Society were selling them. Ponting had a manager, Ben Natan, and a press representative, Mr. Herbert Grover. The dramatic music was played on a grand piano. It must have been something to experience the films as they traveled around the country. As with all polar ephemera like this, very scarce and an excellent example of this fragile publication.…
