Denucé 2696; Spence 14; Rosove 8.A1. On 14 December, 1911, Roald Amundsen and his team reached the South Pole, planting the Norwegian flag. Amundsen’s narrative of his attainment of the South Pole first appeared in his native Norwegian, and it was initially issued in the present format of 40 parts prior to its appearance in book form. Sets of the work in these original parts rarely come onto the market. This set also includes three receipts, issued by E. Sem’s Bokhandel to the original purchaser for several of the parts, dated 7 November 1912, 19 November 1912, and 28 April 1913, suggesting that the complete set of parts took several months to acquire.
