Illustrated with 20 engraved folding) maps, charts and (aquatint) plates, some spotting, toning and offsetting, previous owner signature to title. Complete with errata sheet. Good scarce first edition. Parry's voyage, which had taken him through the Parry Channel three quarters of the way across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was probably the single most productive voyage in the quest for the Northwest Passage. Luck had been on their side; 1819 was unusually ice-free and no ship was able to travel so far west until Edward Belcher's expedition in 1850. |
