I somehow ended up at a second-hand book fair last weekend and I got me this little gem:
“Het eeuwige ijs. De Zuidpool-expeditie van kapitein Scott. Een verhaal van den laatsten tocht, Britse Zuidpoolexpeditie van 1910-1913,van kapitein Scott en diens tragisch einde, benevens een beschrijving van het natuurleven in het eeuwige ijs.”
It’s a 1915 book about Captain Scott’s South Pole expedition, and besides the lovely dated Dutch, it has a superb cover, which is actually the main reason why I bought it. Look at the font and the style of the whole drawing, all so very art deco – modernist. And it has a penguin! Penguins are always cool. Sadly the book doesn’t mention who made the drawing.
If only all book covers were like this…
