1824réf. 47632Vol. I has a large partial coloured map as frontis and Vol. II has 3 large folding maps in the rear The record of Franklin's first Arctic expedition fraught with hardship and tragedy constitutes one of the classics in the annals of travel literature. In all the party travelled 5500 miles overland and with the aid of canoes exploring the territory from York Factory to the mouth of the Coppermine River on Coronation Gulf east along the Arctic coast as far as Point Turnagain and back across the Barren Lands. Provisions were poor and scant and on the return journey many crew members died of cold and starvation; the young naval artist Robert Hood was murdered and another executed for the crime. The work also includes accounts by Richardson and Back of the last leg of the desperate journey across the Barren Lands. This edition omits the appendix on the natural history of the region and scientific observations on the aurora borealis and the magnetic needle. Arctic Bib. 5195. Sabin 25625. TPL 1249.

Starting in Poland he traversed Russia and Siberia on his journey. Stationed in Berlin as a military attaché in 1887 he was tasked with researching the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction by Russia. His successful expedition was followed by further explorations in India and the Balkan Peninsula. This sheet divided into 24 illustrated panels narrates Fukushima's story from his youth to his triumphant return after the expedition. Filled with adventure the story depicts his encounters with both danger and excitement. The narrative unfolds in a clockwise direction starting from the bottom right corner similar to a sugoroku game which this may be but it is uncertain. The central panel featuring a newly erected statue represents the final goal of his journey. Each panel is accompanied by a caption that furthers the story. . 福井榮之助. [Fukui Einosuke]. unknown
