Toronto Adam,Stevenson 1873 Hard Cover Fair
In 1856, Lord Dufferin commissioned the schooner Foam, and set off on a journey around the North Atlantic. He first landed in Iceland, where he visited the then-minuscule Reykjavík, later towed close to Jan Mayen Island, then sailed on to Spitzbergen. With his irreverent and lively style his "Letters" can be regarded as the prototype of the comic travelogue. Fair in blue cloth, gilt pictorial cover design, cover stains, discolorations,spine split. Still tight. Reading copy. Signature and date '1876, Charled D. Cory', probably the father of Canadian General Sir George Norton Cory. Illustrated. 248p
