Includes Foreword: HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; Introduction: David Hempleman-Adams; Appendix I: The 1913 Fine Art Society Catalogue: Photographic Pictures of Mr. Herbert G. Ponting; Appendix 2: Brief Biographies; Appendix 3: Major Expeditions of the 'Heroic Age' of Antarctic Exploration 1839-1922; Appendix 4: The King's Albums; Bibliography; Index and Acknowledgments. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, color photographs, maps, color map frontispiece, and color photographic front and rear endpapers. First U.S. Edition, First Printing. "A treasure trove of photographs - some never before reproduced in book form - from the two greatest Antarctic expeditions. Among the greatest achievements in the history of photography, those of the early polar explorers surely stand out, for the beauty of their images and the almost impossible conditions they encountered. And none of these more remarkable than the photographs recorded by the official chroniclers of two epic Antarctic expeditions - that of Robert Falcon Scott, beginning in 1910, which tragically resulted in his death; and, four years later, that of Ernest Shackleton, whose heroic sea journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia has become the stuff of legend. Their photographers - Herbert George Ponting and Frank Hurley - transported bulky cameras and glass plate negatives across the forbidding polar landscape to record some of the earliest images of this dramatic environment. That the photographs survived to be presented on their return to King George V is miraculous, and they have remained ever since in the Royal Collection. The Heart of the Great Alone reproduces the best of these marvelous images - ships encased in ice floes, ice cliffs and ravines, campsites and dog sleds, and the incomparable beauty of Antarctic flora and fauna. Together they form an invaluable record of an environment that global warming has forever changed. With a superb narrative drawing on Ponting's and Hurley's writings and other archival material from the Royal Collection, and with extended captions for each image, this book is a unique addition to the literature of polar exploration." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Descripción de la tienda
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
