Published by William Heinemann, London; 1909. quarto. First edition, first printing. Fine condition. Signed by author on tipped in half title.
These 2 exceptional volumes are the first issue of the first edition of Shackleton's first hand account of one of the most celebrated Antarctic expedition. Bound in custom half calf gilt bindings, these volumes show very few signs of wear or ageing. The bindings are tight and in excellent condition, and apart from some minor toning and spotting to the original uncut pages, there is no damage or marks to speak of. The first volume is signed "Yours truly E. H. Shackleton" on tipped-in half title. These are an incredibly rare find, with only one or two signed copies currently available for sale, including this one.
These volumes constitute one of the most important works in their area of expertise, with Shackleton's description of the "Nimrod" expedition of 1907-09 being one of the classic narratives of Polar exploration. There were three goals for this much-celebrated Antarctic expedition; First - to reach the Pole; Second - to plant a flag at the magnetic South pole; and third - to explore the Ross Barrier. These were ambitious goals and, although unable to achieve them all, the expedition was overall considered successful. The accounts of this exploration are fascinating and have contributed considerably to further expeditions and the knowledge we now have of the region.
These volumes are exceptional examples of these important works and would be the ultimate crowning jewel of any rare book collection focussing on exploration or the Antarctic. Please don't hesitate to contaact us if you have any questions regarding these beautiful books.

Robert Lee Frost (1874 – 1963) was, arguably the most important but,certainly the most popular American poet of the 20th century. "Although his work is principally associated with the life and landscape of New England, and though he was a poet of traditional verse forms and metrics who remained steadfastly aloof from the poetic movements and fashions of his time, Frost was anything but a mere regional poet.

"One of the first really competent and instructive contributions to African ethnography by a scholar of pure African heritage. Through his upbringing Mr. Kenyatta combines to an unusual extent the knowledge of Western ways and Western modes of thought with a training and outlook essentially African. As a first-hand account of a representative African culture, as an invaluable document in the principles underlying culture-contact and change; last, not least, as a personal statement of the new outlook of a progressive African, this book will rank as a pioneering achievement of outstanding merit." - Introduction.

The first cinema, the Asakusa Denikikan, was opened in Tokyo in 1903 and within 13 years 300 cinemas had sprung up throughout the country... (The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters. She details an industry and an art form shaped by the competing and merging forces of traditional culture and of economic and technological innovation." Edgewear, creases to bottom and bottom and top corners of front cover, soil on bottom and light soil to outside pages.
