Sobre este artículo
Westminster London: Archibald Constable and Co, 1900. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. vittorio sella. FIRST PRINTING of First UK Edition. Rebound in green cloth to resemble the original binding with original front cover title patch cleanly mounted in original position on front cover and original spine patches similarly mounted. Overall nice condition. Tight binding with no loose pages (the text block has been sewn into page gatherings = the stitching shows at the start/end of each gathering --> see photo). Gift inscription on front pastedown. No other former owner writing or marks in book. Based on the inscription, this book was given to Smoke Blanchard prior to his 1964 expedition to Mt St Elias, possibly by Vin Hoeman, beloved climber & mountaineering historian who perished in an avalanche on the 1969 Dhaulagiri expedition along with 6 others, though the "Love Always" seems a bit melodramatic. Smoke Blanchard's St Elias expedition was a 4-man venture starting at sea level. They did not reach the summit. There is foxing on several pages, mainly those opposite photo plates or at the page gathering ends. NOT ex-library. No dampstaining. Pages are clean and flat (not wavy as often happens with this book). Complete with all plates, panoramas and maps. The book measures 27cm tall x 19cm, and has 241 pages, 34 b/w plates, 2 folding color maps, 4 folding half-tone panoramas, 117 halftone text ills, 6 appendices, bibliography. This is the classic account of the first ascent of Mt. St. Elias in Alaska. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK BEING OFFERED.
