Alan Gurney's copy with his pencil signature to the front endpaper and pencil annotation to rear endpaper. Gurney was a well known yacht designer with a passion for the Antarctic. A most attractive reprint retaining much of the character and style of the First Edition. Murdoch heard about the expedition from William Speirs Bruce, who had already signed on the expedition. Murdoch signed on the Balaena within a week of its departure. He believed that his artistic talents would benefit the scientists, he became not only the artist but also the expedition's principal chronicler. His narrative covers the voyage south at great length, providing a fascinating picture of shipboard life. The Falkland Islands account is well detailed, and the Antarctic section of the narrative contains astute observations of the wildlife and sealing operations. Bruce contributed a chapter summarising the scientific observations. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.
