For your consideration is a 1885 leather bound copy of the book titled "The Marvelous Wonders of the Polar World." The whole is carefully edited by Herman Dieck, A.M., published by Historical Publishing Co. Dayton, Ohio, and entered according to Act of Congress, 1885, by J.R. Jones. Marvelous Wonders of the Polar World was written from the narratives of Lieut. Greely, Commader Schley and Liet. Danenhower. These three men as well as countless others under their command faced death so that the world might know the mysteries of the polar regions. They documented the horrors and hardships they faced and broadcast to the world the wonders and beauty that lie in the Arctic zones. Binding on the book has worn through age. The gilded pages have held up well and the stamped leather cover and back are in good shape as well. The book measures approximately 9.25 x 6.75 x 2.25"
