Published by Childs & Peterson, 1858 (two volumes)


Hardcovers (half-leather) with raised bands on the spines and marbelled endpapers and edging. Both books, due to their age are fairly brittle and will either need reinforcing or handling with care. Volume 2 has a repair but volume one doesn't and the front board binding is fragile. There is damage to the spines. Fold out map is present and undamaged. These are extremely rare volumes in their original binding, the second editions of the famous work by Elisha Kent Kane.

Please see photographs for condition.

They contain numerous beautiful steel engraved plates and woodcut vignettes. 


Subtitled: the Second Grinnell Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin.
