Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Peter Freuchen. Peter Freuchen's Book of the Seven Seas. With David Loth. New York: Julian Messner, Inc., 1957. First Edition, First Printing. 506 pp. Illustrated with photographs, maps, engravings, and plates; endpaper world maps in brown tone from the 1690 Skelton atlas. A substantial mid-century sea-history classic by Arctic explorer, anthropologist, author, and raconteur Peter Freuchen (1886-1957). Drawing on his lifetime of polar expeditions, ethnographic fieldwork, and marine experience, Freuchen surveys the world's oceans through natural history, exploration, navigation, ship design, marine biology, and the human cultures shaped by the sea. Organized in four major sections: The Shape of the Sea, Life in the Seven Seas, The Sea in Action, and The Ships of the Seven Seas, the book ranges from ancient galley warfare to Polynesian canoes, from deep-sea currents to whaling, piracy, arctic survival, and early oceanographic science. Includes many historical illustrations: 17th-18th century engravings, maps, photographs by Philippe Halsman, and plates such as Paul Gauguin's 'I Raro te Oviri.' Condition (Book): Good. Sturdy and fully legible copy. Green cloth boards with gilt ship device and spine titling.

Textblock clean with occasional age-spots toward edges; no markings except one small penned name on front endpaper map. Plates intact and bright. Peter Freuchen (1886-1957) was a Danish Arctic explorer, anthropologist, journalist, and novelist known for his expeditions with Knud Rasmussen and his writings on Inuit life and polar survival. A larger-than-life adventurer, famous for escaping an ice-locked hut using a frozen feces 'chisel' he became a public intellectual on exploration, geography, and environmental issues. His work combines firsthand survival experience with humanistic insight into the cultures of the North.
