Dealer Notes
Facsimile reprint of the first editions of 1907-14, one of 350 copies, together with the additional volume IV, not published at the time. The South Polar Times, a cornerstone of any Antarctic exploration collection, reproduced in facsimile form the magazines issued during Scott's two Antarctic expeditions. Sets of the original now command high sums. The present edition, issued for the Centenary of Scott's first Antarctic expedition, offers a faithful facsimile of the original set, a particularly extraordinary feat in view of the high numbers of chromolithographed leaves and illustrated nature of the original sets. The set includes a fourth volume, not published at the time, and issued in the same format as the previous volumes.
