A fine copy of this account of Shackleton's final voyage as told by his second in command and successor Frank Wild.

The lure of Antarctica was too strong for Shackleton to resist, so he started his fourth and final trip in the ill suited Quest in 1921, with (as always) wildly ambitious objectives. However, when Shackleton died suddenly in South Georgia, Wild took charge of what remained, resulting in this handsome publication reproducing the last photographs of Shackleton to have been taken.

First edition; 8vo (24 x 17 cm); coloured frontispiece, 12 sketch maps in text, and 140 illustrations on 100 plates (60 full-page), photograph image of Frank Wild pasted to front endpaper; publishers gilt pictorial blue cloth, slightest rubbing to extremities, a bright fine copy; xvi, 372pp.

Taurus 112; Rosove 349.A1.
