Description: Handsome, decorative copy of Capt. Frank Shaw's "First at the Pole: A Romance of Arctic Adventure" with illustrations by E. S. Hodgson, published by Cassell, London 1909. Octavo size (6" x 8.25"), 312 pages, illustrated cover and spine plus 4 additional illustrations within text including one color illustration facing title page. Printed on good quality paper with bright pages, all pages intact. Just a few bits of foxing on the title page otherwise, very good condition for 90 year old juvenile or young adult title! Frank H. Shaw (1878-1960) UK naval officer published stories as Frank Cleveland, Archibald Guthrie, Grenville Hammerton, Frank Hubert, Ernest Winchfield in Boys' Papers from early in the twentieth century. We've put a new spine on this book and added hand-made marbled endpapers, but saved the original boards and spine art, making this copy eminently shelf-worthy and readable for years to come. A great example of Edwardian era adventure literature, when the poles were still unexplored frontiers. Hard to find and ready for your shelf and reading pleasure! Will ship at no additional charge via media mail in U.S. and via eBay Global Shipping for international. International buyers will pay the cost to send from eBay's depot to their destination. Thanks for looking and happy reading!
