20 pp. Quarto. Original printed pictorial wrappers which are somewhat soiled. Map on the inside of the front wrapper. 20 black and white illustrations in text. Single full page illustration and also one on the back wrapper. Staples are a bit rusty but overall a sound copy. The forward to the pamphlet provides a good history of t…he movie and how it was acquired in 1927. The British Empire Film Institute was formed in 1927 and the acquisition of the Ponting film was the first item in the collection. It was first shown to the public on February 26th, 1929. I assume this brochure was printed for that event. The Prince of Wales sent a message of hope that the Nation would develop a great collection of National Films. The first one I have seen and I assume there were not a lot produced for the event. This is the reprint edition of "90° South". Rare. Spence 929.
