[NANSEN, FRIDTJOF (1861-1930)]. Farthest North: Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship Fram 1893-96 and of a Fifteen Months' Sleigh Journey by Dr. Nansen and Lieut. Johansen with an Appendix by Otto Sverdrup, Captain of the Fram. About One Hundred and Twenty Full Page and Numerous Text Illustrations and Coloured Plate in Facsimile from Dr. Nansen's own Sketches, Portrait and Maps. London: George Newnes, Ltd., 1898.

Second edition. In two volumes (complete). Leather-bound. Hardcover. Large octavo (240 x 155 mm). Pp. [xv], 480; [viii], 456. English text. Handsomely rebound in half-calf, the spines gilt with cloth sides, marbled page edges and endpapers. One colour plate from Nansen's own sketch, portrait frontispiece of Nansen, "around 120 full page black and white illustrations", plus many illustrations in the text. Fold out map in colour to the rear of vol.1. Condition: VERY GOOD. Bindings tight and secure with the hinges and joints intact. A little light marking to boards. Interiors very well-preserved. Without previous ownership markings.

Notes: Nansen's own account of "a remarkable achievement in Polar exploration" (PMM). He designed a ship, the Fram, to "slip like an eel out of the embraces of the ice" and which he hoped would drift along the ice to the North Pole. His account of the difficult journey by sledge and the return of the Fram to Tromso became a worldwide bestseller.
