About this Item

16 pp Extracted from a bound volume and now bound in modern stiff paper wrappers. Frontis illustration. Folding panorama at the rear. A clean crisp example of a fragile and scarce bit of polar ephemera. Housed in a very attractive fold over box. One of several polar related panoramas produced and shown in London. The frontispiece shows a rather crude illustration of John Ross. The panorama guide at the rear has a detailed legend of what you would have seen when walking around the display. The whole display must have been very impressive to the average man on the street.
