About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton, (1938). First editon of one of the classic whaling books, featuring photos of actual whaling operations. Church was a noted marine photographer, and his artistry blends well with vintage photos of whalemen, whaleboats, whale ships, and whalecraft. Fine condition in publisher's illustrated cloth, with lightly chipped dust jacket. It is difficult to find first editions of this book in top condition. They tend to be read hard.. 4to, 26 cm. 179 pp. b/w photo and line ills.
