190017161New York: Cassell and Company 1900. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. xvi 204 pp with three colored folding maps and 67 illustrations from photographs. Original green cloth with illustration of the authors on the front board. Minor insect damage to front board spine slightly toned some foxing to endpapers else quite sound and clean. The American husband and wife team were wealthy zealous and energetic explorers who together made many expeditions to the Himalayas. Fanny a suffragist as well as a bit of a publicity hound made sure the world knew of her achievements as a pioneering female climber. Among other achievements she held the women's altitude record for 28 years after her conquest of 23000-ft Pinnacle Peak in 1906. Robinson Wayward Women amusingly describes her as having "practically battered the Karakorams into submission first treading them over with her squat hob-nailed figure and then pinning them down on virgin maps and charts to take home for the various Geographical Societies of England and America to fight over." This is the account of their first Himalayan expedition 1898-99 during which they reached the Karakoram Pass and explored the Biafo Glacier Neate W124. Cassell and Company hardcover books

xv, [1], 259 pages. Photography throughout, primarily in black and white. "This is a book about photography. This is also a book of photographs, a book that speaks within and alongside and through photographs. Here is one way in which this book brushes photography against the grain: normally separated tasks - of writer and photographer, of 'critic' and 'visual artist' - are here allowed to coexist, perhaps uneasily, between the covers of a single volume." - Introduction. Publication of this work coincided with an exhibition of the same name at the Ohio State Gallery of Fine Art, November 16 - December 7, 1984. Contents clean and unmarked. Binding intact. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket and covers. A sound copy of this treasured work. Book
