Gunther’s Notes and Sketches were originally published in the ‘Draconian’, the school magazine of the Dragon School in Oxford. They comprise entries and drawings from his diary kept during the 2 years of the R.R.S. "Discovery" expedition. Gunther himself sailed the Discovery, which, together with the William Scoresby, spent 2 years in the South Atlantic Ocean for whaling research. The book includes details of visits to the Canary Islands, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia, the Falklands, and the Palmer Archipelago in Antarctica. This copy was presented by Gunther, and the likely recipient was another member of the Discovery expedition, L. Harrison Matthews (himself author of South Georgia, 1931, and reports from the expeditiom). This copy also has a few pencilled annotations to some of the illustrations, identifying the scientific crew of the expedition after p. 28, and others elsewhere in the illustrations, that are likely to be in Matthews’ hand.
