Dealer Notes

Denucé 2598; Spence 67; Renard 50; Rosove 17.A1 (“Scarce”). Armitage, the second-in-command on Scott’s Discovery expedition of 1901-4, wrote this informal account of the expedition with Markham’s consent. For various reasons, and to Scott’s initial annoyance, it appeared shortly before Scott’s own official account, The Voyage of the Discovery, though Armitage had intended the reverse. However, only one printing of the book was made, and Armitage’s narrative is one of the more uncommon Antarctic titles.
