Detailed Product Description
London, 1947, 1st edition. 213 pp, photos. Irving has selected ten mountains 'with some difficulty'. He had to restrict the number of Alpine peaks to two (Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn) and had to leave out some Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Devi. At the time of writing of course, Everest had not yet been conquered; there is a description of the attempts to that date, as there are with all the peaks mentioned. The chosen mountains are Snowdon, Ben Nevis, Mount Cook, the Matterhorn, Ushba, Mont Blanc, Mount Logan, Nanga Parbat, Kangchenjunga and Mount Everest. Hardcover, DJ, Near Fine.
Includes Two Letters
SIGNED by RLG Irving,
both to Edward C. Porter a noted mountaineering book collector in Chicago .
One is an aerogram letter dated 1956 thanking Porter for a book Porter sent him, and mentioning a forthcoming trip to Swizterland. The other is a postcard also dated 1956 comparing cold Chicago weather to the comfort of the hotel at Pen-y-gwyd. Both are signed by RLG Irving.
