He moved to New Zealand in 1906 and began to study architecture and later became a partner in one of that country's most prestigious firms. Antarctica was published privately in 1908 and this is a facsimile of his original booklet. Ford, in a letter to a friend in 1963, confirmed that Scott himself gave him permission firstly to lecture in England and then later in Canada and Australia and also to write a book.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 8vo. pp. 31; 13 illusts.; very good in the original pictorial yap wrappers, somewhat age-toned to margins inside of wrappers, creased to margins of wrappers, but overall a very good copy. Ford's account of his time on Scott's Discovery expedition is one of very few publications by an expedition member. Issued as the seventh publication of the New Zealand booklet Series, Ford's work is very uncommon, and seems to have been published as a form of keepsake by the author.
