Dealer Notes
AB 11983. Nansen’s narrative of the Fram expedition (1893-96) appeared in a first English edition in 1897. The book was subsequently issued by George Newnes in 20 parts, appearing every fortnight. An option was given to purchase bindings for these parts, not present here; examples of the second edition can be found which have been bound up from the original parts. However, complete sets of the work in its original parts rarely come on to the market.
