Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. EXTREMELY RARE INSCRIBED FIRST EDITION IN PUBLISHER'S VARIANT BLUE CLOTH. THIS VARIANT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS COMMON IN THE FIRST EDITION. Apsley Cherry-Garrard served as assistant zoologist on Robert Scott's tragic 1910-12 expedition to Antarctica. Dr. Wilson chose Bowers and Cherry-Garrard as his companions for a winter journey in 1911 to Cape Crozier to collect Emperor Penguin eggs. On their return five weeks later Scott described their journey as "the hardest that has ever been made" a phrase which later suggested to Cherry-Garrard the title of his narrative of the fortunes of the whole expedition: The Worst Journey in the World. When at the base, Cherry-Garrard edited the camp newspaper, The South Polar Times. The following summer he accompanied Scott's polar party as far as the summit of the Beardmore Glacier, helping to establish supply and fuel depots. Scott arrived at the Pole only to find that a Norwegian team headed by Roald Amundsen had beaten him there by a month. On the return journey, plagued by blizzards and illness, the sledge party perished near One Ton Depot, where their bodies and diaries were found eight months later by a search party that included Cherry-Garrard. Illustrated with sketches made by Edward Wilson, the science officer of the expedition, who died returning from the pole with Scott; with photographs by expedition members Debenham and Wright. 2 Volumes.

Cloth. Zustand: Good. First edition. A unique example of this highly influential and very scarce work regarding Robert Falcon Scott's doomed quest for the South Pole, containing a signed letter from the author and member of the expedition, Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Truly a special example. The first edition of the work. Very scarce.With a tipped in letter from the author, Apsley Cherry-Garrard to the front free endpaper of volume one, written on the author's personal stationary from his estate, Lamer Park in Wheathampstead, reading:"Dear Commander Maitland,It"s no trouble. I am afraid there is no appendix volume but there is a Life of Edward Wilson of the Antarctic with much of his letters and diaries by George Seaver just published by Murray and in its 3rd impression.With compliments A. Cherry-Gerrard Nov. 21." The recipient, Coventy Makgill Crichton Maitland was a senior officer in the British Army who served as an officer in the Royal Scots Fusiliers during the Second Boer War and the First World War, from which he received multiple mentions in despatches for his heroic actions. Despite retiring in 1937 following appointments in Gibraltar and as an Aide-de-Camp to the King, he returned a an area commander for the first two years of the Second World War, before retiring once more in 1941. The work contains Maitland's armorial bookplate to the front pastedown of both volumes. With additional spine label to volume two tipped in between the front free endpaper and front pastedown.Collated complete with sixty plates across two volumes, six of which are colour and ten of which are folding. Also contains five maps, four of which are folding.Half titles are present. The various folding maps and plates include detailed maps of the route undertaken by the men, alongside specimen pictures of the local wildlife and the explorers themselves. Apsley Cherry-Garrard was an English explorer, of Antarctica, most notably as a member of the Terra Nova expedition, led by Robert Falcon Scott with the aim of reaching the geographic South Pole.The Worst Journey in the World recounts Cherry-Garrard's experiences throughout the expedition, and has been praised very highly for its frank treatment regarding the difficulties of the expedition and the reasons behind its tragic conclusion. The memoir also covers wider themes regarding the meaning of human suffering under extreme conditions. Despite Cherry-Garrard being initially mocked by his colleagues owing to his lack of Antarctic experience, his hard work later won him the accolade as the protege of Edward A. Wilson. Cherry-Garrard was chosen to go with Wilson to recover the eggs of the emperor penguin for scientific study, enduring conditions of total darkness and temperatures as low as -40c. Whilst they eventually made it back safely with the specimens, it was this journey that Cherry-Garrard described as 'The Worst Journey in the World. Perhaps, however, the most striking moment of the influential work is the first hand account of Cherry-Garrard finding the bodies of Bowers and Wilson in the tent following the search party undertaken the following year. It was here that Scott's famous journals were found. The work is a remarkable example of a highly influential memoir regarding the Terra Nova expedition. This particular copy is further impressive in the original publisher's binding and containing a signed letter from the author to a noted senior army officer. A fascinating travel memoir, recounting Captain Scott's expedition, with unique provenance. Presented in the original publisher's quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards. Externally smart with rubbing and shelf wear to the extremities, resulting in some slight loss to the cloth. Marks to the boards. Slight loss to spine labels, although the additional spine label to volume two is tipped in to the front endpaper of the second volume. Hinges slightly strained particularly the rear hinge of volume two. Bookplate to front pastedown of both volumes. Tipped in letter from the author to front free endpaper of volume one. Internally firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean with the occasional spot, slightly heavier to the half titles and the occasional leaf. Small tidemark to extremity of plate entitled 'Cape Evans From Arrival Heights' facing page 428. The occasional small closed tear and creasing to folding plates and maps, although all maps and plates are complete. Larger closed tear to folding plate facing 184. Good. Edward A Wilson (illustrator). signed by author. book.…

On both sides of the first leaf of a bifolium, with the reverse of the second leaf cut down by a third, and carrying a red wax seal and three postmarks, with the address by Gurney to Waddington in Rouen. After explaining that he has been away in Yorkshire, he expresses regret that 'our efforts respecting Edwd Cherry have so terminated - it is however clear that the maintenance of fhis wife and family is an overwhelming duty to him'. He has himself made payments in London, and understood that 'our Friends in Rouen were to pay for the room &c'. Nevertheless he is sending a draft on his bankers for 'the sum specified less the £9 thou hast not advanced Edwd Cherry. - I feel for him and should £10 be required to help him to move to the country I shall be willing to give it to him'. He concludes regarding the filling of Cherry's place, and 'the maintenance of the school and library'.…
