Dust jacket with pictorial illustration on front panel and spine by Arthur Hawkins; rubbing and soiling to panels; shallow chipping at spine and flap fold ends; nicks and tears and panel edges; steep clip to front flap's bottom corner but with publisher's printed price still retained at top; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector.

Half-title page has four-line blue ink inscription "For Queenie Moss McCaskill, with special reference to pages 181-209, | from Vilhjalmur Stefansson | December 6, 1940" followed by four-line black ink "with all my love | Popini | and | Eloise" (first two lines by the artist with his signature written diagonally within his standard logo box and concluding two lines written by his wife who is also the inscribee's daughter). Past owner laid-in small paper slips at Popini illustrations; a few spots of scattered light soiling but interior pages overall remain clean. Binding is firm. A very good+ copy in a very good- dust jacket. Laid-in at front endpapers is two-sided autographed letter signed (ALS, i.e. handwritten letter) dated for September 8, 1940 on Hotel Sherman Square, New York stationery from daughter Eloise McCaskill Popini to her mother Queenie McCaskill, a member of a long-standing Columbus, Mississippi family. Letter details some events regarding the book's publication with the author apparently referenced as "Stef" and her illustrator husband being "Sasha;" letter indicates that Macmillan liked Popini's illustrations to the extant that they wished they could have given him the dust jacket commission too but evidently that assignment had been given to Arthur Hawkins (renowned for his dust jacket and advertising art/design from the 1920s to 1960s) when Stefansson and Macmillan first arranged for the book's publication. Stefansson credits Eloise McCaskill for help with his research and the two apparently collaborated as editors on the 1938 Argonaut Press edition of George Best's THE THREE VOYAGES OF MARTIN FROBISHER for which McCaskill also wrote an introduction. Romanian-born artist Alexander Popini (1878-1962) enjoyed a long career in New York as a sculptor and as a magazine illustrator with occasional book credits including, most prominently, ULTIMA THULE.

Martin Frobisher (d.1594) was an English seaman and privateer who made three voyages to the New World in search of a Northwest Passage. All landed in northeastern Canada, around the southern tip of Baffin Island. Frobisher there began mining what he thought was gold, what was proved to be gold upon assaying in London, but that later turned out to be only iron pyrite, thrown down onto roads as paving. It was not the end, however, as Frobisher distinguished himself in battle against the Spanish Armada. #86 of an edition limited to 475 copies.
