Facsimile Edition, Limited to 375 numbered copies plus 20 hors commerce , this copy unnumbered, of the first book produced in the Antarctic. Devised by Shackleton to occupy his crew s time and maintain their spirits during the dark days in cramped quarters of the 1907-09 Nimrod British Antarctic Expedition s overwintering on Cape Royds in April-July, 1908, Aurora Australis consisted of ten pieces of poetry and prose written by various expedition team members and was illustrated with eleven lithographs and etchings executed by George Marston. Approximately 80 copies were printed by Ernest Joyce and Frank Wild, both of whom had undertaken short printing courses prior to their departure with the firm of Sir J.Causton & Sons, Ltd. (Causton & Sons had supplied the printing equipment and paper used on the expedition). The books were then bound by Bernard Day from the crates used for provisions. This facsimile is based on the original copy held by the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand (our copy without the stenciling ULIENNE SOUP on the inside back cover). See Spence 1095.
