Add to basketVintage 1934 edition of Minute Stories of Famous Explorers by Jerome S. Kates, featuring 73 maps by the author and 321 illustrations by Herbert S. Kates. Published by Grosset & Dunlap, New York.
Designed for young readers, this volume presents brief, engaging accounts of many of history's most celebrated explorers and expeditions. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of drawings and maps that make it an appealing reference and juvenile history title.
Bound in the original gray cloth with the publisher's colorful pictorial paper label mounted on the front cover. The binding is sound, and the interior is clean with light age toning consistent with its age. Covers show only light shelf wear, with minor rubbing to the corners and spine ends. No dust jacket.
A nice, well-preserved example of this illustrated juvenile history title that displays well on the shelf.
