Travels in Alaska – John Muir – 1915 Limited 1st Edition

Travels in Alaska – John Muir – 1915. A limited first edition of just 450 copies. Also called the ‘large paper’ first edition. Black and white photos throughout, and a hand-coloured photogravure frontispiece. Muir, aka “John of the Mountains” and “Father of the National Parks”, likely does not need in introduction, as his prominence as a naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States is well known. Green boards with wrap at spine. Leather spine label with gilt text. Some fading at spine and very light edge rubbing. Internally, beautiful condition. Fine overall. The book is exactly as pictured.
