Narrative of The Arctic Land Expedition, to the Mouth of The Great Fish River, and along the shores of The Arctic Ocean, in the years 1833, 1834, and 1835

Rutland, VT: Charles E. Tuttle, 1970. First Thus. Octavo. 19.5cm. Publisher's dark blue cloth titled in gilt and black to spine. Dustjacket. [xxv]; 663pp. Strong and bright, very light wear to extremities; internally clean and fresh, illustrated throughout; in a strong, clean dustjacket with some light marginal creasing. A very good copy indeed.

A facsimile edition of the 1836 first edition, faithfully and rather attractively reproduced by the Tuttle Co. who seem to have had extensive interests publishing books in Japan. An accessible account of Back's dramatic exploratory voyages.
