In den WarenkorbHardback. Zustand: Very Good - See Description. Sidney Paget, Warwick Goble, Gordon Browne and others (illustrator). First Edition Thus. 1898. First bound edition. 804pp. and many black and white illustrations from photographs and various artists. All edges gilt. The Strand Magazine was the first of the major popular illustrated sixpenny monthlies and ran from 1891 to 1950. It featured articles on almost every subject and the editors selected the best short fiction available throughout Europe and America, along with emerging British talent. The magazine is probably best known for introducing Sherlock Holmes to the public. The bound volumes in the publisher's original blue cloth binding are now sought after. This is the sixteenth bound volume and contains the issues from July to December 1898. It includes the second to seventh of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Round the Fire Stories" - including The Story of the Man with the Watches and The Story of the Lost Special. These are two puzzle stories in which the unnamed detective bears some resemblance to Sherlock Holmes. Other tales and articles in this volume include: an article on Lynton by J. Finnemore; underground London; making a life mask; triplets; Fishy Frolics - a story for children by Canning Williams; The Stolen Body - a short story by H.G. Wells; and The Larrikin of Diamond - a short story by E.W. Hornung. The book is bound in the publisher's original blue cloth covered bevelled boards with black titling and an illustration of The Strand on the front board and gold and black titling and designs on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling on the boards. The top corners are lightly bumped and there is heavier bumping to the bottom corners and spine ends with some damage to the cloth at the spine ends. The book has fairly recently been re-backed and re-cased in the original boards, and as a result the contents are now tight and secure with new grey endpapers. The pages are clean apart from a few scattered light marks and there is a red stain on the fore edge of parts of the text block of the first 170 or so pages that has seeped a little way into the fore margin of the pages. Pages 768 onwards have a water stain on the fore edge that is initially small and increases in size and noticeability towards the end of the book. There is light foxing to the last two pages of the index at the end of the book and heavier foxing to the half-title and title pages and the frontispiece. There is no inscription. PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavy book and extra postage may be required for delivery outside the UK.

Mackellar 1921", and with a loosely inserted print of the Cabots' departure from Bristol inscribed by Mackellar "May you find fortune C. D. M.". First edition. Slim folio. pp. 8 [title, list of plates, double-column text in English and French]; 10 tinted lithographic views on 7 plates; very good in the original light blue cloth, panelled in blind, lettered in gilt beneath gilt pendant to upper cover, a.e.g., darkened on spine and outer margins of boards, wear to extrems. of spine with loss to foot of spine, soiling to boards, now contained in a three-quarter leather box with gilt decorated spine. This book is one of three works of the period illustrating the searches for Sir John Franklin's lost Arctic expedition. The fine lithographs were engraved by Charles Haghe after Browne's originals, and depict scenes of Ross's search party and of the ice-scapes through which they travelled - the Great Glacier and Fjord near Upernavik (West Greenland), a ravine in the region of the winter quarters at Port Leopold, the cliffs at Whaler Point on Somerset Island, and Leopold Island nearby. There are also views of ships locked in the pack-ice and of the sledges arriving at the southern depôt. The text contains a brief account of the Franklin search expeditions in the central Canadian Arctic, notably that of Sir James C. Ross in 1848-9 with its wintering at Port Leopold and the work of its search party. This copy was presented to Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, by one of his supporters, Campbell Mackellar, for whom Mount Mackellar in the Antarctic was named. At the time that he received the book, Shackleton was contemplating an expedition to the Canadian Arctic, but a lack of support from the Canadian authorities prompted him to decide to head south on the Quest for what proved to be his final expedition (he died aboard the Quest, off South Georgia, on January 5th, 1922).
