Description
1897 leatherbound copy of Farthest North Vol. 2 by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. Beautiful marbled paper on covers and endpages and gilded details on the leather spine. The book includes numerous photos, at least one map, and numerous plates with watercolor and pastel sketches (some shown in the pictures). Book is in moderate condition - its structurally intact and pages appear to be free from rips except for the map shown in the images above. There is some foxing and the edges of the cover are well worn, but spine and text block are intact. This was a former library book and has some markings indicating that as can be seen in the images. Overall a beautiful book about an interesting voyage. The pictures are especially interesting! Please let me know if you have any questions.
