About this Item
[2],266,[4]pp. including in-text illustrations, plus engraved portrait frontispiece, three folding maps, one single- page map, one folding facsimile, eight tinted plates, and a printed notice bound in after p.256. Contemporary three-quarter calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Minor edge and corner wear. Occasional scattered foxing. Very good. James Franklin and his party were lost while on Franklin's third Arctic expedition, in search of a northwest passage. In 1859 an expedition under the command of M'Clintock aboard the Fox discovered their fate, and at that point England ceased searching. However, in 1860, Charles Francis Hall undertook a journey to the Arctic, believing that some of Franklin's party must have survived. The present volume, in Danish, gives an account of the Franklin expedition, and concludes with a notice of M'Clintock's search party. The maps, including one by J. Arrowsmith, show Franklin's route and the polar regions, and the attractive lithographed plates illustrate the actions of Franklin and his crew. TPL 8844. LANDE S1780. SABIN 61224.
