Expertly re-backed with the original spine laid down to matching cloth. Page edges untrimmed. Publisher's prospectus for 'North American Views during the land Arctic Expeditions in 1819-1826 under the command of Captain Franklin' bound in at the front.

The contents with some light scattered foxing to the preliminary pages and occasionally to thepage edges are otherwise wonderfully clean and bright throughout. The engraved plates are clean and crisp and the folding maps are in excellent condition with just a little toning remaining free from tears or damage. The first edition of Franklin's account of his second Canadian overland expedition which formed his third expedition to the Arctic. The aim of the expedition was to reach the mouth of the Mackenzie River from which Franklin would follow the coast westward and attempt to meet Frederick William Beechey who would sail northeast from the Bering Strait. Franklin's companion John Richardson meanwhile would follow the coast east from the Mackenzie to the mouth of the Coppermine River. After reaching Great Slave Lake using the existing known route Franklin took a reconnaissance trip 1000 miles down the Mackenzie becoming on 16th August 1825 the second European to reach its mouth. Here he erected a flagpole and buried letters for Parry beneath. Following this success he returned to winter at Fort Franklin on Great Bear Lake heading back downriver the following summer where he found the ocean frozen. He then worked his way west for several hundred miles giving up on 16th August 1826 at Return Reef when he was about 150 miles east of Beechey's Point Barrow and headed back to Fort Franklin reaching safety on 21st September. The present work contains both Franklin's and Richardson's narratives of the expedition and includes descriptions of the lands traversed the weather endured and the numerous encounters with the Esquimaux and Dogrib Indians. The six large handsome folding maps provide extensive cartographical detail of the expedition and the finely engraved plates wonderfully illustrate the experiences of its members. "The beauty of the typography is rivalled by that of the engravings each of which is a splendid specimen of art. Nine of these illustrations represent some incident in the intercourse of the explorers with the Esquimaux" Field. A splendid copy scarce in the publisher's original cloth.
