Beschreibung
Folio. Pp. 28, [13 plates]. Frontis. Guillou drawing. Illustrated with an additional twelve black & white halftone reproductions of pencil drawings and one inked chart. Biographical sketch by Emily Blackmore, commentary on the plates by Elliot A. P. Evans. Natural linen, titles stamped in gilt on the spine, pencil illustration "Small Boats of the Peacock" printed on the cover. Edition limited to 450. Moderate age toning to cover and leaf edges. To say that surgeon Guillou served under Wilkes on the United States Exploring Expedition is a slight understatement. As surgeon, Guillou tended to crew members who had been subject to Wilkes' frequent and severe floggings. The Wilkes-Guillou relationship became so fraught that Guillou was placed under arrest during the tour. Following the Expedition's return, Guillou filed seven charges against Wilkes, revealing Wilkes' deep failings as leader of the USEE. A handsome BCC book production, consistent with the their 1960s tendency toward large-format volumes, presented here in fresh copy. . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6914
