First Edition
Hardcover. First edition. 75p + many ills. (halftone photos and line cuts after photos) + 2 maps. No jacket, as issued. In 1881-1883 Lieut. Adolphus W. Greely and his men made four ill-fated attempts to set up a meteorological observation station in the Canadian Arctic. They were tragically stranded over the winter of 1883-84; in June 1884 Commander Schley and his relief party were able to rescue the few survivors and retrieve most of the dead. This official report documents in great detail the outfitting of the rescue ships, their journey northward, the discovery of the camp, the medical treatment and funeral services given, and the return home. Of interest here for the many plates, which are clearly based on photographs. (The list of crew members doesn't name a photographer.) Most of the plates are line cuts engraved by Moss Engraving Company. Several, such as "Belles of Upernavik" and some portraits, are halftones of line cuts. The plates show that interesting and typical flattened effect of instantaneous photos turned into line illustrations. Despite the binding condition, the plates are very good. From the estate of a prominent collector of early photographic reproduction. Fair (shaken, covers worn and rubbed).

The documentary begins in 1860-1862 when the author visited China & Japan on the U.S. Frigate Niagara. In 1866-70 the cruise to China began & a patrol in the Far East with its troublesome times. * The American war with Korea in was 1870-71 and is described in much detail, as the author participated in the conflict.

Then to Hong Kong to pick up the American Consul General Legender to Formosa, then on to Shanghai & Nagasaki and an audience with the Meiji Emperor in Edo. * A very obscure primary work for adventures & travels in the Far East, with keen notes on the country, people & customs.
