Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: London, The Folio Society, 2009 Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. [xxvi], 496. Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume presents exceptionally well, housed in its original dark grey slipcase which remains structurally rigid but shows the faintest hints of superficial shelf-wear and dusting to the extremities. The full cloth binding, featuring a continuous striking photo-montage, remains remarkably taut, bright, and square, with uncrushed spine tips and absolutely no rubbing to the outer boards. Internally, the pages are perfectly crisp and completely free from foxing, toning, or handling marks. The text block is perfectly flush and unblemished, suggesting the book has remained completely unread, resulting in a superlative, collector-grade example of this edition. Catalogue Note: This is the celebrated Folio Society edition of Scottâs historic journals, first published in this format in London in 2009. The text is drawn directly from the 1914 edition of the journals (originally published in two volumes by Smith, Elder in 1913) and features J. M. Barrie's introduction alongside E. L. Atkinsonâs original account of 'The Finding of the Dead'. The volume is profusely illustrated with the iconic contemporary photographs taken by Herbert Ponting, the expedition's official photographer, bringing a stark visual reality to the harrowing journey. The distinctive binding comprises a full cloth wrap-around photo-montage of the expedition team and ponies sledging across the ice, printed on Gardapat paper at Memminger Medien Centrum AG, and expertly bound by Lachenmaier in Reutlingen, Germany. While Folio Society titles are widely collected, pristine examples of this specific 2009 edition, especially complete with a structurally sound original slipcase, remain highly desirable among enthusiasts of polar exploration, historical journals, and fine press bindings alike. A cornerstone of polar literature, Scottâs Last Expedition chronicles one of the most tragic and legendary feats of endurance in human history. Through Captain Robert Falcon Scottâs own meticulously kept journals, readers are transported to the unforgiving Antarctic landscape, following his ill-fated Terra Nova expedition in the desperate race for the South Pole. Scottâs elegant, elegiac prose captures the profound isolation, the crushing physical toll, and the indomitable spirit of his men, culminating in a final entry that has echoed through the past century as the ultimate testament to courage in the face of absolute despair.
