Housed in a pictorial slipcase. COMPILED, written and edited by Peter Gillman for The Folio Society, 'Everest: From Reconnaissance to Summit' is an exclusive record of five key expeditions to the summit of the world, using spectacular photography and reportage from the men who went there. Marking the 100th anniversary of the earliest British reconnaissance in 1921, it also covers the first attempt on the summit in 1922 and the tragic 1924 expedition that claimed the lives of Mallory and Irvine. It shows how the mountain proved unconquerable by a new generation of climbers in 1933, before the triumphant ascent of Hillary and Tenzing in 1953. THE FIRST VOLUME, 'A Photographic History,' collects 268 of the most remarkable mountain photographs ever taken, including breathtaking panoramas, steep gorges, glaciers, ice-fields, pinnacles and close-ups of the ascents. The men's testimony makes up THE SECOND VOLUME, 'An Eyewitness History', in articles and dispatches, memoirs, official reports and private letters, each accompanied by a commentary by Gillman. 'Everest' is introduced by Wade Davis - an authority on the early expeditions. The preface is from Jan Morris, last surviving member of the 1953 expedition until her death in 2020. HEAVY/OVERSIZE.
