About This Item
A. H. & A. W. Reed, Wellington, 1973. 2nd Impression. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Photographic and Maps. 600 g; XIV, 246 pages, indexed. Illustrated end page maps, text illustrated with photographic plates, frontispiece map. Previous owner's details on the verso of the contents page. The book itself has minimal damage, -- rubbing of the bottom edge of the boards. The dustwrapper is rubbed along the vertical creases, and across both top and bottom edges, it has a small tear at the top right, and top left of the front panel, and the top of the spine has been chipped and chewed. Now protected. Picogram's service as head guide at the Hermitage, Mount Cook, coincided with the 1st flowering of New Zealand Alpine climbing, 1894 -- 1928. He made many 1st climes of the great peaks of the Central Southern Alps and he's alone earned him a great name in New Zealand mountaineering; but his work as a professional guide, founding a tradition of care and say, dark in the parties he led, is an equally important contribution to the sport. -- Front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
