Dealer Notes

“A memorial publication appearing soon after news of the polar party’s demise reached Great Britain. This thin, almost ephemeral item possesses a sombre tone that reflects a nation in mourning” (Rosove, Antarctica). The booklet was bound without a section relating to Edward A. Wilson, and a 4pp. “Wilson Supplement” is sometimes found with copies, not present here; as Rosove comments, the “Wilson Supplement’ was “so obviously integral to the publication that its omission during binding must have been an accident”.
