With engaging anecdotes and detailed descriptions, the author paints a multifaceted portrait of the expedition, capturing both the lighthearted moments and the unwavering determination that fueled their scientific pursuits.

This is the first edition, Smith Elder issue, 1st state, without the author's preface. It includes many excellent sketches that were not included in Scott. The Australian geologist T.

First edition of Taylor's account of Scott's Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13. Taylor (1880-1963) was a London-born Australian geologist. His account is "illustrated by numerous excellent sketches, contains substantial information for students of geology and glaciology. The book was less popular than other primary accounts, prob…ably because it was more difficult to read - but as a result, it is also the scarcest of the expedition's firsthand narratives" (Rosove). This edition is in the second state, which contains the author's preface. Rosove 324.A2. Large octavo. Half-tone photographic frontispiece, 43 half-tone plates, (one double-page), 2 folding maps (one colour), illustrations and maps to text.

Contemporary ownership inscription dated June 1926 to front free endpaper. Cloth stained, contents foxed, folding map at rear with some linen tape repairs to rear causing toning to some folds. A very good copy.

London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1916. 8vo. Original cloth, gilt, vignette of penguin to upper cover, upper cover lettered in white; pp. xiv, [2], 464; plates after photographs, sketch maps, one folding map, illustrations in the text after drawings by the author; mimimal light toning to paper, else a very good copy.First edition, firs…t issue without the inserted leaves containing the author's preface at pp. iv*-v*, "inadvertently ommitted from the first run of copies printed" (Rosove). This is an intriguing association and presentation copy with the author's original drawings tipped in, presented to one woman, Theo Gardner, and with his bookplate (which serves as an illustration in the book on p. 301) with Taylor's explanations of the topgraphical features relating to Scott's expedition in ink. Taylor first experienced the Antarctic as a member of Shackleton's Nimrod expedition (1907-9), and returned in 1910 as geologist on Robert Scott's Terra Nova expedition. According to Rosove, Taylor was the expedition's "wittiest member. He had devices and notebooks hanging out of every pocket and a passion for being well equipped" (p. 412). His passion for geology is evident in the pages of the present book, which offers his account of Scott's last expedition. For this reason, it was perhaps harder to read than other books about the expedition, and Taylor's work is the scarcest of the first-hand narratives from the expedition. "Taylor provides us with one of the most substantial accounts of Scott's Terra Nova expedition, and one of its finest book productions" (Taurus Collection 81).Spence 1183; Renard 1575; Rosove 324.A1.Provenance: Title-page inscribed "To Theo Gardner, with congratulations from her Tropical "Sledge mate" Griffith Taylor", envelope with self-caricature in ink and inscribed "To Theo with apologies from her Long-head friend". Underneath a photograph of the author aboard Terra Nova (inscribed on verso captioned 'The rolling Terra Nova, Antarctica 1912. Theo from Grif'). One tipped-in leaf with a mounted original drawing in Japanese ink, as used by the printer to illustrate the opposite page with signed presentation inscription, dated 30/10/[19]20. - Despite having read Marie Sanderson's book Griffith Taylor. Antarcic Scientist and Pioneer Photographer (published without index in Ottawa, 1988) the cataloguer was not able to find any hint to a close friend of Taylor's with the name Theo[dora] Gardner. All we know about Griffith Taylor's whereabouts when one inscription was dated is that he resigned from the Australian Weather Service in August, 1920. "He set off for Honolulu to attend a Pan Pacific Congress by way of Java and Sumatra, since his lectures did not begin until March 1921" (Sanderson p. 102).
