Report of Winfield S. Schley, Commander, U.S. Navy, Commanding the Greely Relief Expedition of 1884
Published by GPO, Washington DC, 1887

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Hardcover. First edition. 75p + many ills. (halftone photos and line cuts after photos) + 2 maps. No jacket, as issued. In 1881-1883 Lieut. Adolphus W. Greely and his men made four ill-fated attempts to set up a meteorological observation station in the Canadian Arctic. They were tragically stranded over the winter of 1883-84; in June 1884 Commander Schley and his relief party were able to rescue the few survivors and retrieve most of the dead. This official report documents in great detail the outfitting of the rescue ships, their journey northward, the discovery of the camp, the medical treatment and funeral services given, and the return home. Of interest here for the many plates, which are clearly based on photographs. (The list of crew members doesn't name a photographer.) Most of the plates are line cuts engraved by Moss Engraving Company. Several, such as "Belles of Upernavik" and some portraits, are halftones of line cuts. The plates show that interesting and typical flattened effect of instantaneous photos turned into line illustrations. Despite the binding condition, the plates are very good. From the estate of a prominent collector of early photographic reproduction. Fair (shaken, covers worn and rubbed).

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 4to. pp. 75; 3 wood-engraved portraits, 30 wood-engraved plates of Arctic views, ships and equipment, etc., 3 single-page engraved maps; chipped to fore-edge of front blank, else very good in the original black cloth, lettered in gilt to upper cover, a little rubbed and discoloured. A presentation copy, inscribed by Schley to "Col. R. G. English with the author's compliments W. S. Schley U.S.A. Washington, D.C. April 23d 1889". Aldophus Greely led the 1881 expedition undertaken to establish Arctic circumpolar stations. Two previous expeditions had failed to retrieve the Greely party in 1883; Schley and his team eventually found seven survivors at Cape Sabine north of Baffin Bay, the remaining 18 members having perished. Schley reports that the survivors were themselves close to death. He also writes: "In preparing the bodies of the dead for transportation". it was found that six of them . had been cut and the fleshy parts removed to a greater or less extent with a view no doubt to use as shrimp bait . Subsequent investigators suspected that the bodies had been cannibalised.
