23 pp. Octavo. Original cloth backed paper covered boards. Paper label on spine and front board with extra label tipped in at the rear. A tiny bit of soiling to the board with an old light stain in the right-hand corner of the front board. Two portraits, one of each subject. Spence 1255, Renard 1691, Rosove, 1343. Whitehouse met Nansen in 1928 when he accompanied a group of students to Norway to present Nansen with a model showing the Farthest North adventure. The Shackleton paper originally appeared in the Boys' League magazine for 1914. Seems to be much scarcer than you would think. This copy with a presentation inscription from Whitehouse to W.R. Wyllie. The recipient was most likely William Lionel Wyllie (5 July 1851 6 April 1931), also known as W. L. Wyllie. Wyllie was a prolific English painter of maritime themes. Very scarce with a great association.
