Footnotes

This copy of Keiichi Tada's rare second book devoted to the Japanese Antarctic Expedition is bound without the title-page, dedication leaf and all but one of the plates, but includes more advertisements than Ross calls for. Sold with it is a suite of plates, intended for the book but separately bound with manuscript identifying them as relating to Tada's "Diary".
