197613240London: Hodder and Stoughton 1976. A first edition first printing published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1976. Octavo. Original blue cloth gilt. Dustwrapper. Pp. 239. Bonington's narrative of the first successful ascent of Everest via the south-west face a route that had already defeated the five prior expeditions. The first summiteers Dougal Haston and Doug Scott became the first Britons to set foot on the top of Everest. The book details their route to the summit and describes how following their successful ascent they bivouacked with exhausted supplemental oxygen supplies at 28700 feet spending a 'night out in China' over the border ridge at the South Summit. Illustrated throughout. Top edge slightly faded else a near fine tight clean copy in slightly creased and rubbed dustwrapper which has a very short closed tear to the rear panel but is in very good condition at least. SIGNED ON THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER 'TO MICHAEL' BY DOUG SCOTT CHARLES CLARKE AND DOUGAL HASTON. Charles Clarke was the expedition doctor and wrote Appendix 10 in the book on Medicine. Whilst copies signed by Bonington Scott and other are relatively common and inexpensive copies signed by the first summiteers together are very scarce. Dougal Haston lived abroad in his role as Director of the International School of Mountaineering in Leysin Switzerland and tragically lost his life in an avalanche whilst skiing a steep couloir near his home in January 1977 soon after the book was published.

Some evidence of light foxing to the mount not to the chine. A brilliant impression of one of the signal images of early artistic lithography Felix Man deemed this to be Bonington's masterpiece because of "its delicate gradation of tone." Man Artist's Lithographs p. 38 In excellent condition. "One of the most important of the artists who collaborated on Voyages Pittoresques is Richard Parkes Bonington who was born in England in 1801 moved to France at an early age and died in London in 1828. His townscapes long served as models for similar work in lithography. His prints have the much-praised silver-grey tone of the French lithographic masterpieces from the shops of Engelmann and Delpech. But Bonington added that wonderful velvety black which allows the atmosphere of the pictures to flicker up between light and dark." Weber A History of Lithography McGraw-Hill 1966. unknown
