First edition, 8vo, 2 volumes, pp. 464; 467, [1]; engraved portrait and engraved vignette title page in each volume, 4 maps (2 folding), 18 beautifully engraved plates and approximately 265 other engraved illustrations in the text; original blindstamped brown cloth, stamped in gilt on spine; volume I slightly skewed and with a mall crack at the top of the spine; all else very near fine. Under the auspices of the U.S. Navy, Kane set out in search of Franklin, who had not been heard from since 1847, to explore, and to make scientific investigations in the regions north of Smith Sound. While Kane came away empty-handed as far as information on Franklin was concerned, the expedition was of extreme importance for its scientific and geographical discoveries.
