First Edition
Disbound, spine very poor, boards detached. Ex-Franklin Institute, with bookplate. 482 pp., frontispiece, uncolored folding map. The map is lightly creased and repaired along one split fold with light chipping. This is the scarce first American edition of Franklin's first journey. First published in London in 1823, the American edition has a newly engraved map and plate. This is a hard-to-find printing of one of the most important 19th century Arctic explorations. There has been no copy sold at auction in the past 20 years. Sabin 25626, American Imprints 16177 (5 loc.) AAS 253124 indicates that the AAS copy lacks the frontispiece and one leaf.

First Edition
Two volumes, octavo, with four splendid folding maps; in contemporary navy blue half calf, marbled boards, edges and endpapers, spines ornately panelled in gilt with duble brown labels (lettered "Franklin's Journey to the Copper Mine River"). A particularly fine set, in a most attractive contemporary binding, of the second, first octavo, edition: Sir John Franklin's narrative of the 1819-1822 expedition to the polar north under his command. Assured of guides and ongoing supplies by the Hudson's Bay Company, Franklin and his party of twenty men sought an overland route east of the Coppermine River. Using native canoes to traverse a vast landscape, relations among the men deteriorated as food and supplies dwindled. Cold, exposure and starvation took a harrowing toll as cannibalism and murder erupted amongst the voyagers. A total of nine men died. This account was initially published in a lavishly illustrated quarto edition. This second edition in smaller format features four splendidly engraved maps. Franklin, who had served as a midshipman under Matthew Flinders in the Investigator during the circumnavigation of Australia in 1801-04, was later appointed as Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania from 1837 to 1843. His reputation as an Arctic explorer and his search for the North West Passage grew in the following years, and culminated in the loss of the Erebus and Terror on his final expedition in search of the passage in June 1847. .

Franklin, John, Sir NARRATIVE OF A JOURNEY TO THE SHORES OF THE POLAR SEA, IN THE YEARS 1819, 20, 21, AND 22.; With an appendix on various subjects relating to science and natural history London: John Murray, 1823. Full Tree Calf. NARRATIVE OF A JOURNEY TO THE SHORES OF THE POLAR SEA, IN THE YEARS 1819, 20, 21, AND 22. With an appendix on various subjects relating to science and natural history Franklin, John, Sir Published by John Murray, London, 1823 Bound in contemporary full tree-calf full gilt spine, previous joint repairs. Bookplate of "Inebranlable" which relates to a bird in the hand. All plates present, some minor creasing to the fine paper plates at the rear. Black lettering label. xvi, 768pp. including one in-text diagram, plus thirty-one plates (eleven in color) and four folding maps. The narrative of Captain John Franklin s first expedition to the Polar North is a landmark of historic travel literature from an icon in the history of Arctic exploration. First edition, first issue of the narrative of Sir John Franklin s first Arctic voyage (1819-22), published just a year after his return to London. Known as the Coppermine Expedition, its purpose was to map and explore the northern littoral of the American continent. Franklin was charged with reaching these isolated coastal stretches by crossing overland from Hudson Bay. Once there, he was to survey and chart the coast as it stretched eastwards from the mouth of the Coppermine River. The expedition lasted three years, during which Franklin and his crew surveyed more than 5,000 miles of the Canadian coastline. It was a journey of unimaginable hardship. Over the course of the three years, Franklin lost eleven of the twenty men in his party. Most of them succumbed to starvation and exposure, but there appears to have been at least one murder, and for years there were rumors of cannibalism. Franklin s book explains how the men depended on lichen (a type of arctic algae-moss) to survive. The men also attempted to consume the leather of their boots, winning Franklin the sobriquet, the man who ate his boots. Yet despite the severe challenges, the surviving men pushed on with the mission and returned safely to London in 1822, where Franklin was welcomed as a great hero. The narrative of this incredible journey, published a year after his return from the icy shores, immediately became a bestseller and an absolute classic of British travel literature. It contains Franklin s insights and perspectives on all of the major events of the expedition, as well as his considerations on the expedition s goals. In addition to the more formal element of his reporting, the work is full of Franklin s observations on the landscape, its people, climate, and wildlife. Published in a Quarto format (268 x 215mm). Very Good. Item.

First Edition
First edition, 4to, pp. [iii]-ix, [1], 768; 30 exquisitely engraved plates by Finden (26 after Lieuts. Hood and Back), 10 of which are hand-colored, 4 folding maps; some toning of the text but generally a very good, sound copy in contemporary brown calf, rebacked, with old gilt spine laid down, new red morocco label. Includes narratives by Richardson and Back, appendices on natural history, meteorology and other scientific subjects. "Of the beautiful engravings which accompany this volume, six are illustrative of the features or habits of life of the Aborigines of the arctic regions . Many details are given in the progress of the work of the Copper, Dog-Rib, Esquimaux, and Chippewyan Indians; but it is in the last chapter, where the author narrates the story of that appalling march on the return journey, that our interest is most deeply excited . The Chipewyan Chief Akaitcho, while his own tribe was starving, exerted himself to the utmost to procure [for Franklin's party] supplies, and it was owing to the kindness and sympathy of the [natives] that Franklin and his party survived this dreadful expedition."
