Thus begins Captain Scott's preface to the South Polar Times, which became a major diversion for the men on board the Discovery during the long sunless winter from 23rd April until 21st August.   Scott wrote of it more fully in the official account: "The scheme for publication was discussed long before the sun left us, and by general consent Shackleton was appointed editor. It was decided that each number should contain besides the editorial, a summary of the events and meteorological conditions of the past month, certain scientifically instructive articles dealing with our work and our surroundings, and certain others written in a lighter vein. As the scheme developed it was found that other features, such as full-page caricatures, acrostics, and puzzles could be added; and now each month sees the production of a stout volume which is read with much interest and amusement by everyone."   Shackleton "was responsible for the most famous examples of printing in the Antarctic. In addition to the first book printed in Antarctica, Aurora Australia (1907), Shackleton oversaw and contributed to the South Polar Times, first published on Scott's expedition to Antarctica on the Discovery, and again on Scott's fatal Terra Nova expedition of 1911-1914. Shackleton was also a contributor to the Antarctic Petrel, printed during his Nimrod expedition of 1907-09" (Stam & Stam).   Rosove, 287.A1 & 291.A2; Spence, 1094; Scott, R.F.

First edition; 3 vols, 4to; vols I & II limited to 250 copies, vol. III to 350 copies for sale, illustrated with 3 frontispieces, 2 folding maps, numerous illustrations, many full-page, many coloured; original blue cloth gilt with pictorial insets to upper covers, soft crease to spine vol. 1, a very attractive set. An exact reproduction of The South Polar Times magazine originally issued during the Antarctic expeditions of Robert F. Scott. 'Once the sun goes down in the polar regions, you're in it for the long haul: five months of darkness, nothing to do and mercury the wrong side of 40. Besides winding the gramophone, giving lectures and, that British staple, dressing up as girls, the explorers of the heroic age published their own newspapers. It was a tradition established on Arctic expeditions and enthusiastically taken up by Scott on his first trip south in 1902, when he appointed his team-mate Ernest Shackleton editor of the South Polar Times. After a well-lubricated banquet featuring noisettes d'agneau Darwinian and charlotte russe glacà e à la Beardmore, Cherry presented the South Polar Times to Scott with everyone gathered around the table and a Christmas tree made from ski poles. The captain read most of it out loud, interrupted by uproarious laughter and indignant barracking' (Sara Wheeler, The Telegraph, 2012). 'It has always seemed churlish to list this title under Shackleton, who only edited the first of the three volumes, for the publication arose during Scott's two expeditions. On the first of these, Shackleton was invalided home before its completion, while he was most decidedly not a member of the second Scott effort. Still, this should not detract from the publication, a lithographed facsimile of typescripts produced by members of Scott's party during three bleak Antarctic winters spent in his company' (Taurus). Volume l (April to August 1902) was edited by Sir Ernest Shackleton; Volume II (April to August 1903) by Louis Bernacchi. These volumes were published in 1907 with a preface by Scott. Volume III (April to October 1911) issued during Scott's last expedition, was edited by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Taurus 42 & 79; Rosove 287.A1 & 291.A2; Conrad p.121; Spence 1094.…

First limited edition of the complete collection of the South Polar Times, a periodical created by Scott's crew during his two polar expeditions on the ships Discovery and Terra Nova, with a slip signed by Ernest Shackleton and Rudolph Blakenburg Quarto, three volumes, publisher's gilt decorated cloth, all edges gilt, frontispiece to each volume, elaborately illustrated with engravings after the expedition members' original drawings, many in color. Volumes I and II are number 177 of only 250 copies, volume III is number 256 of 350 copies. From the Adventure and Exploration collection of James Stephen âSteveâ Fossett with his bookplate to the pastedown of each volume. American businessman and record-setting aviator Steve Fossett became the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in 2002 in his 10-story high balloon Spirit of Freedom. He completed the 2002 trip in 13 days, 8 hours, and 33 minutes and set records for both the Longest Distance Flown Solo in a Balloon and Fastest Balloon Flight Around the World. Fossett was also one of sailingâs most prolific distance record holders set the Absolute World Speed Record for airships with a Zeppelin NT in 2004. He received numerous awards and honors throughout his career including aviationâs highest award, the Gold Medal of the Fà dà ration Aà ronautique Internationale (FAI), which he was awarded in 2002. Fossett disappeared on September 3, 2007 while flying a light aircraft over the Great Basin Desert, between Nevada and California. Additional bookplates from the libraries of Dr. Edward Bramley and polar scientist Anthony Michaels. In near fine condition. Laid in is an scarce autograph album page boldly signed by Ernest Shackleton and American businessman and former mayor of Philadelphia Rudolph Blakenburg. An exceptional set. Captain Robert Falcon Scott led two expeditions to the Antarctic: on the ship Discovery from 1901â"14 and the Terra Nova from 1910â"13. Scott and his men entertained themselves during the long, dark winter months by creating the South Polar times, a monthly magazine typed and illustrated by the expedition members and read aloud to all deck hands. "It was decided that each number should contain, besides the editorial, a summary of the events and meteorological conditions for the past month, certain scientifically instructive articles dealing with our work and our surroundings, and certain others written in a lighter vein. As the scheme developed it was found that other features, such as full-page caricatures, acrostics, and puzzles, could be added; and now each month sees the production of a stout volume which is read with much interest and amusement by everyone. One of the pleasantest points with regard to it is that the men contribute as well as the officers; in fact, some of the best and quite the most amusing articles are written by the occupants of the mess-deck, of whom one or two show extraordinary ability with the pen. But beyond all else the journal owes its excellence to the principal artist, Wilson, who carries out the greater part of the illustration and produces drawings that would be appreciated any where" (Scott, The Voyage of the Discovery, 362).…
