Description
The story of the failed 1897 Andrée expedition by balloon to the North Pole, told from the discovered diaries of its leaders. Translated from the Swedish original into French. A remarkable tale, well illustrated with photographs. Stock is heavily toned and paper is a little brittle, so some chipping and edgewear. Plates, on better quality paper, are brighter with some unobtrusive foxing. Former owner's signature to front cover. Covers worn to edges front and back, with closed tears and some light marking. Best regarded as a reading copy. 8vo. vii, 352pp
