About This Item
Odessa: Mathesis, 1912. First edition in Russian. Good. 23cm; [10], 206, [10], [8] pages, and two folding color maps. Bound in later red patterned cloth over boards. Binding split 1cm at upper top joint.
Extremely rare first Russian translation of the geography professor's popular "Polarforschung," first published in Germany in 1902. The Russian edition includes extra material on Russian voyages to American Arctic. A census of union catalogues turns up only the 1923 Berlin reprint of the Russian text, and few of those. The 1912 Odessa imprint, offered here, is not represented. Odessa is a very rare imprint for books on the Arctic, and we believe this is the only book-length work on the subject printed there. The folding maps show the northern and southern polar regions.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
