Controlling Mineral Emissions in European ...

Published version: small 4to. pp. 17-40; numerous illusts. inc. to Smythe's article; a little spotting, else VG in the original wrappers with a cover image of Everest from Smythe's photograph, ownership inkstamp of J. E. Archbald to upper cover. MS version: 25 lined notebook leaves, written in Smythe's hand in pencil to rectos only, the first leaf headed 'The Mount Everest Expedition 1933 by F. S. Smythe'; occasional corrections, some leaves a little frayed (particularly the first and final ones), paperclip marks to first and final leaf. These two items, the autograph and printed versions of the same article, were contributed by Smythe to the monthly Kodak Magazine in February 1934. Smythe had taken part in the 1933 Everest expedition under the leadership of Hugh Ruttledge, and he published a fuller account of it in what is considered to be his best book, Camp Six (1937). The published article is illustrated by 11 of Smythe's photographs; sadly the originals of these are no longer present. The magazine and autograph version of Smythe's article both once belonged to J. E. Archbald, an associate of the Royal Society of Photography, who also contributes some photographs of a theatre show to this same issue (p. 31).  Bookseller Inventory # 21908
