ARCTIC. - [Edward Lawton MOSS. Polar Sketches. Sixteen Chromo-lithographs from Watercolour Drawings Made in the Polar Regions Made in the Polar Expedition of 1875-76. London: Marcus Ward & Co., 1878.] Loose-leaf (224 x 305mm.) 12 (of 16) chromo-lithographed plates mounted on card. (Lacking the original text accompanying each plate, the cards trimmed down, toning and occasional browning to card margins, 1 plate with partial soiling.) Disbound. Note: rare. Only 1 record of this on Jisc [Copac]. This was a special issue of Edward Moss's 'Shores of the Polar Sea: A Narrative of the Arctic Expedition of 1875-76'. Both were published in 1878. The drawings were not made to record the progress of the expedition but were more reflective and aesthetic, designed to show the strangeness of the landscape, and the effect of light upon it by having a midnight sun, or a mid-day moon.
