About This Item
NY: The Century Company, 1917. Book. VG. Soft cover. 8vo. 13pp extract, printed in double columns, illustrated with 15 photographs, faded water-staining at page bottoms, salvaged from a damaged issue of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume XCIV, No. 6, October, 1917. From the opening paragraph, "One of the fundamental principles of all my arctic expeditions has been to depend upon the country itself for the fresh-meat supply. To this fact is due the entire absence of scurvy on all of my voyages." Illustrations include a bull musk-ox, a scene of skinning and cutting musk-oxen, a happy Eskimo family, a deck scene on the Roosevelt, a giant polar bear killed in Buchanan Bay, dragging a vanquished tiger of the north into camp, a collage of comparative pictures of various exploring ships including the Norwegian Fram, British Discovery, Scotch Aurora, Italian Stella Polare, American Roosevelt, and German Gauss, a scene of preparing to tow a dead walrus, a scene of walrus-hunters and their kill, and a portrait of Myouk, the bigamist of the tribe. Housed in protective mylar report cover..
