Hardcover (Quarter Leather). Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 1st UK Edition; xii, 326 pages, illustrated, 116 illustrations from photographs including 4 photogravures. Original quarter leather binding. Shelf wear, some foxing and age toning to pages as expected, contents clean. NOTE: Captain Peary photogravure i…s a trimmed photocopy, 2 of the other photogravures although original are also trimmed and laid in. Odd collation, frontispiece is North Pole, and there are no page numbers for the photogravures, these have been added in pencil. The MAP is an amateur PHOTOCOPY. The books has been collated and the illustrations are all present. Sold as a Reading Copy and priced accordingly. One of two London editions dated 1910, the other issued by Methuen; priority is unclear. Both London editions have a greater number of illustrations than the first (U.S.) edition, but the sixteen special plates are printed on cream rather than white paper stock, and are in black & white. Following earlier attempts, Robert Peary succeeded in reaching the North Pole on 6th April 1909. Immediately after his return, controversy broke out due to Frederick Cook's announcement, just 4 days before Peary's, of his own attainment of the Pole on 23rd September 1908. The North Pole contains no hint of the ensuing - and often acrimonious - debate concerning these competing claims. At the time, Peary came to be regarded as offering the surer claim. Cook's own published account, My Attainment of the Pole, did not appear until 1911 and inevitably appears more 'embattled' than does Peary's relatively straightforward account. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 2 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Exploration. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 2678. This book is extra heavy, and may involve extra shipping charges to some countries.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Très bon. by Robert Peary with an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. One hundred and sixteen illustrations from photographs. London. Hodder and Stoughton, 1910 1 fort volume in-4 (26 x 20 cm) de 326 pages. 116 illustrations photographiques. Grande carte dépliantes à la fin. Cartonnage éditeur plei…ne toile gris/kaki, premier plat avec titre, auteur et portrait en médaillon dorés, dos orné d'une tête d'ours polaire poussée à froid en blanc, second plat orné d'un ours polaire poussé à froid en blanc. Non rogné. Légères traces à la reliure, l'ensemble en excellent état. Intérieur très frais. Texte en anglais. Première édition anglaise. First english printing. L'édition américaine a paru à la même date (1910) chez Frederick A. Stokes Company. Chaque édition (américaine et anglaise) a eu un tirage de luxe signé par l'auteur à 500 exemplaires. Les autres exemplaires sont tirés sur très beau papier mais ne sont pas signés. Robert Peary (1856-1920) était un explorateur américain. Il est connu pour ses expéditions arctiques (Groenland et pôle Nord). C'est lors de sa huitième et dernière expédition qu'il atteint le pôle Nord, le 6 avril 1909. Il aurait été le premier à l'atteindre. Mais à son retour la polémique grossit. Frederick Cook affirmait lui aussi avoir atteint le pôle Nord le premier et ce dès le 21 avril 1908 ! Le Congrès américain tranche : Peary est déclaré vainqueur ! Mais . mais mais . les études modernes montrent qu'en réalité ni l'un ni l'autre n'ont vraiment atteint le pôle Nord ! Peary ne l'aurait en fait approché qu'à une trentaine de kilomètres près . au mieux ! L'exploit de Cook est aussi contesté par les historiens. Le premier à avoir réellement atteint le pôle Nord magnétique serait Ralph Plaisted, en avril 1968 (avec l'aide de motoneiges). Le premier à l'avoir atteint en traîneau à chien est le britannique Wally Herbert, le 6 avril 1969. Le récit de Peary reste passionnant en tous points. Très beau livre.

First British edition of Pearyâs illustrated account of his journey to the North Pole. Thick quarto, original cloth with a polar bear and gilt titles to the spine, gilt titles and disk to the front panel, double ruling to the front panel stamped in white, a polar bear in white to the rear panel, tissue-guarded frontispiece, prof…usely illustrated with a large folding map printed in color, 3 photogravures, 16 special plates, and 97 illustrations from photographs. Introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. In very good condition. This dramatic account includes the preparations, organization, and the march to the Pole. "According to Peary, they reached the Pole on April 6 and remained there 30 hours to verify their position. They reached land again at Cape Columbia on the 23rd, and two days later arrived at the ship⦠Immediately after Peary's arrival, the Cook/Peary controversy broke out as a result of Cook's almost simultaneous announcement that he had reached the Pole one year earlier. Eventually, Cook's claim was rejected as fraudulent by most commentators, and Peary's priority was widely acknowledged. However, Peary's claim, too, has frequently been questioned, and controversy continues even now⦠The National Geographic Society commissioned a new examination of Peary's route by the Navigation Foundation, of Maryland, which reported in Peary's favor" (Holland, 475).

Full vellum bound, top page edge gilt, page edges uncut, vignettes of polar bear to covers. Original covers, frontispiece loosening, with map and 1 of the photogravures laid in. Shelf wear, covers bumped, stained. The London editions have a greater number of illustrations than the first (U.S.) edition but all the photos are in black and white. American explorer Robert Peary's interesting account of his expedition from 1908-1909 to the North Pole, the expedition in which he claimed to have reached the Pole. This was a controversial claim and was widely debated alongside Frederick Cook competing claim. The debate continues to this day, with some thinking that he simply just came within a few miles of the Pole. .A very interesting addition to any polar collection. Signed by Author(s).
