SHACKLETON, Ernest Henry, Sir (1874-1922), Louis C. BERNACCHI (1876-1940), and Apsley George Benet CHERRY-GARRARD (1886-1959), editors. The South Polar Times. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1907-1914.
3 volumes, 4to (277 x 212 mm). Frontispieces, plates and illustrations, some chromolithographic, illustrated throughout. Publisher's gilt-lettered blue ribbed cloth, color-printed illustrations mounted to front covers (vol. III slightly faded, corners lightly bumped). Provenance: Dr. Edward Bramley (presentation slip from Yorkshire Board of Legal Studies with their bookplate); Anthony Michaelis (1916-2007) Polar scientist and explorer (bookplate).
LIMITED EDITION, number 117 of 250 copes (vols. I and II), number 256 of 350 copies (vol. III). Volumes I and II were composed on the Discovery expedition. Volume III, edited by Apsley Cherry-Garrard, was composed on Scott's last expedition on the Terra Nova, 1910-1913, completed in 1911, and published in the same format by Smith, Elder, and company in 1914. "It was decided that each number should contain, besides the editorial, a summary of the events and meteorological conditions for the past month, certain scientifically instructive articles dealing with our work and our surroundings, and certain others written in a lighter vein. As the scheme developed it was found that other features, such as full-page caricatures, acrostics, and puzzles, could be added; and now each month sees the production of a stout volume which is read with much interest and amusement by everyone. One of the pleasantest points with regard to it is that the men contribute as well as the officers; in fact, some of the best and quite the most amusing articles are written by the occupants of the mess-deck, of whom one or two show extraordinary ability with the pen. But beyond all else the journal owes its excellence to the principal artist, Wilson, who carries out the greater part of the illustration and produces drawings that would be appreciated any where" (Scott, The Voyage of the Discovery, 1905, I, p.362).
