Add to basketItem description from seller
A salesman's dummy for this polar work on the dispute between Peary and Cook over who discovered the North Pole. The sample indicates that the complete work contains over 100 illustrations, most of which are "authoritative photographs," and further states, "You have the assurance that 'FINDING THE NORTH POLE' is an authoritative work, by its Distinguished Authorship." Blanks for subscribers are included at the back, though several have been cut out (presumably those with names on them). An interesting artifact from the polar craze of the early 20th century. Unpaginated. Original green pictorial publisher's cloth, stamped in red, gold, and blue. Spine ends worn, corners bumped, lightly soiled. Good.
