Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) The South Polar Times. 1907-1914
Est: £3,000 - £5,000
SHACKLETON, Sir Ernest Henry (1874-1922) , BERNACCHI, Louis C., (1876-1940) , and CHERRY-GARRARD, Apsley George Benet (1886-1959) , editors. The South Polar Times. London: Smith, Elder & Co., 1907-1914. Number 3 of Vol. III and number 17 of Vols. I and II. 'It was decided that each number should contain, besides the editorial, a summary of the events and meteorological conditions for the past month, certain scientifically instructive articles dealing with our work and our surroundings, and certain others written in a lighter vein. As the scheme developed it was found that other features, such as full-page caricatures, acrostics, and puzzles, could be added; and now each month sees the production of a stout volume which is read with much interest and amusement by everyone. One of the pleasantest points with regard to it is that the men contribute as well as the officers; in fact, some of the best and quite the most amusing articles are written by the occupants of the mess-deck, of whom one or two show extraordinary ability with the pen. But beyond all else the journal owes its excellence to the principal artist, Wilson, who carries out the greater aprt of the illustration and produces drawings that would be appreciated any where' (Scott, The Voyage of the Discovery I, p.362) . Rosove 287.A1 & 291.A2a; Spence 1094; Taurus 42 & 49. 3 vols., quarto (275 x 210mm) . Titles in red and black (vols. I-II) , text and title in ochre and blue (vol.

I loose.)

Est: £1,500 - £2,500
Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard (1886-1959), a study of three Adélie penguins, unsigned, watercolour on paper, 18 x 25cm, and three further examples, one initialled 'A.G.G.' and dated 1922, together with a purple velvet tailcoat and a pair of satin breeches, by Meyer & Mortimer, 36 Conduit Street, London, c.1920, the labels with ink inscriptions 'A. Cherry Garrard Esq', and a dress smock, purportedly worn by Cherry-Garrard to a royal event in London, and a copy of the hymn book for his memorial, which took place on 6 October 1962 at St. Helen's Church, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire (6) Provenance: Given by Cherry-Garrard to the Hyde family, who worked for him; thence by descent. At just twenty-four, Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard (1886-1959) was the youngest member of Captain Scotts 'Terra Nova' expedition, which arrived in Antarctica on 4 January 1911 with the intention of reaching the South Pole. In July of the same year, Cherry-Garrard, Edward Adrian Wilson and Henry Robertson Bowers journeyed across Ross Island, from Cape Evans to Cape Crozier, in order to secure an unhatched emperor penguins egg, in the hope that it would help scientists prove the evolutionary link between all birds and their reptile predecessors through analysis of the embryo. After nineteen days, they reached Cape Crozier, and the trio were able to collect three eggs before a force 11 blizzard set in, which ripped their tent away and subsequently the roof of their igloo, leaving the men in only their sleeping bags underneath an ever-thickening drift of snow. Two days later the winds subsided and they were able to begin their return journey. Cherry-Garrard had shattered most of his teeth through chattering due to the extreme cold. After another long week of travelling through the snow and ice, dragging two sledges, and only progressing a-mile-and-a-half some days, the team made it back to base with their precious cargo. The dangers caused by the unimaginable cold and wind, as well as the one hundred and twenty mile trudge to get to Cape Crozier and back, all undertaken by Cherry-Garrard who suffered from severe myopia and could barely see most of the time, led him to refer to this as the worst journey in the world, a phrase which would later become the tile of his book recounting the fate of the 1910-1913 expedition.
