MCDOUGALL, George F. The Eventful Voyage of the H.M. Discovery Ship "Resolute" to the Arctic Regions in Search of Sir John Franklin. London: Longman, Brown, Green, Longmans, & Roberts, 1857.
The first edition by the master of the Resolute, one of five ships in Sir Edward Belcher's Franklin search expedition. This is essentially his shipboard journal from April 1852 until the Resolute was abandoned in the ice in May 1854. After being abandoned, the Resolute apparently broke free from the ice, and was found floating near Baffin Island in 1855 by an American whaling ship (see lot 239 for one of the books found by the American whalers in the Resolute library in 1856). This book includes an account of the eventual recovery by the Americans. Arctic Bib. 10603; Hill 1124; Sabin 43183.
Octavo (221 x 140mm). Half-title. Handcolored folding route map; 8 color lithographed plates (some foxing). 25 ad pp at end. Original burgundy cloth, spine gilt-lettered (rebacked with original spine preserved, rubbed, some staining to endpapers); red half morocco clamshell box. Provenance: Arthur Browning (gift inscription dated 1864) – Parmer Books.
