[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

Greenfield Books has recently acquired a small collection of material 
dealing mainly with polar exploration. We will be offering several of 
the more interesting, or valuable, items to this list before they are 
offered for sale generally.


DEBENHAM, Frank./ IN THE ANTARCTIC Stories of Scott's Last Expedition/. 
Bound in snowflake patterned cream cloth. John Murray, London. 1952. 1st 
edition, hb, small 8vo, pp. vii, 146. With illustrations by Edward 
Wilson and the author, including maps to endpapers.

Debenham was a geologist to, and junior member of, what is now known, 
rather romantically, as Scott's Last Expedition. His reminiscences were 
published many years after the events they describe, and perforce draw 
heavily upon (as the author acknowledges) /The South Polar Times/, which 
the members of the expedition published for their own amusement during 
the three years of the expedition. This in-house irregular periodical 
was mainly illustrated by Dr. Edward Wilson, some of whose illustrations 
are reproduced in this book. Rather than dwell on the more morbid 
aspects of the ill-fated expedition, Debenham deals "..chiefly with the 
lighter side of those fateful yet happy three years and [I] have 
addressed myself mainly to a new generation." The book is in very good 
condition, with only the slightest of visible soiling. The dust jacket 
has been price-clipped on the flap and is chipped at the crown of the 
spine, with a few small closed tears and a touch of soiling; else it is 
in good plus
condition.
