Nares Expedition
ARCTIC EXPEDITION. PAPERS AND CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE EQUIPMENT AND FITTING OUT OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION OF 1875 INCLUDING REPORT OF THE ADMIRALTY ARCTIC COMMITTEE
London 1875. 402pp. plus folding map. Folio. 20th-century three-quarter calf and marbled paper boards gilt lined spine gilt. Stefansson Library stamp on titlepage deaccessioned. Toned minor chipping at edges of some leaves. Final leaf repaired with archival paper with no loss to text; small tears in margin of map. Very good. This scarce document describes the plans for the 1875 Nares Expedition includes specifications for the H.M.S. Discovery data on supplies needed estimations of costs and a hydrographer's report as well as a color chart of the North Polar Sea. The chart is a Polar projection map showing the seas navigated by British expeditions as well as coasts discovered by British American German Swedish and Austrian explorers through 1874. The Nares expedition which sailed from 1875-76 strove to be the first to reach the North Pole and to explore its coasts and region. Though unsuccessful in this venture the expedition was the first to sail ships through the channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island and as far north as the Lincoln Sea recording valuable information about the mysterious region. A sledging party under Capt. Albert Hastings Markham also set a new record on land reaching as far north as 83� 20'. The British Parliament printed occasional reports of the various expeditions and related Arctic subjects which became known as the Arctic "blue books" named after the distinctive blue wrappers in which they were originally issued. This copy has the stamp of the Stefansson collection at the Dartmouth library but was deaccessioned as a duplicate to his widow. ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY 45251. hardcover

Nares Expedition
Carte de Viste Composite Photograph of the Crew of H.M.S. Alert Polar Expedition 1875 Including the Dog Mascot
Portsea: F.Johnson 1875. Photograph. very good. Origninal vintage albumen photograph 6.5 X 10.3 CM on original printed mount. Minor soiling and small tape stain on rear. Small old crease just effecting the image but not very visible. A very nice example. very good This wonderful CDV comprises an image of each crew member and the mascot. The central image is of the ship. Souvenir photographs of both the Alert and the Discovery were taken by rival photographers before the departure of the expedition. Both produced CDV copes as well as much larger examples. Although quite small each potrait is very clear and the name of the individual is usually readable with a magnifing glass. Very Scarce. 1875 F.Johnson unknown

Nares Expedition
ARCTIC EXPEDITION. PAPERS AND CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE EQUIPMENT AND FITTING OUT OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION OF 1875 INCLUDING REPORT OF THE ADMIRALTY ARCTIC COMMITTEE
London 1875. 402pp. plus folding map. Folio. 20th-century three-quarter calf and marbled paper boards spine gilt. Stefansson Library stamp on titlepage deaccessioned. Toned minor chipping at edges of some leaves. Final leaf repaired with archival paper with no loss to text; small tears in margin of map. Very good. This scarce document describes the plans for the 1875 Nares Expedition includes specifications for the H.M.S. Discovery data on supplies needed estimations of costs and a hydrographer's report as well as a color chart of the North Polar Sea. The chart is a Polar projection map showing the seas navigated by British expeditions as well as coasts discovered by British American German Swedish and Austrian explorers through 1874. <br> <br> The Nares expedition which sailed from 1875 to 1876 strove to be the first to reach the North Pole and to explore its coasts and region. Though unsuccessful in this venture the expedition was the first to sail ships through the channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island and as far north as the Lincoln Sea recording valuable information about the mysterious region. A sledging party under Captain Albert Hastings Markham also set a new record on land reaching as far north as 83° 20'. The British Parliament printed occasional reports of the various expeditions and related Arctic subjects which became known as the Arctic "blue books" named after the distinctive blue wrappers in which they were originally issued. This copy has the stamp of the Stefansson collection at the Dartmouth library but was deaccessioned as a duplicate to his widow. ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY 45251. hardcover books
