Marbled edges [to volume 2]. = Rare first (Swedish) edition of this famous voyage round Asia and Arctic Europe and of the first succesful scientific voyage through the polar regions of Siberia with the famous map called "Karta öfver Gamla verldens Nordkust frän Norge till Beringssund med Vega-expeditionenskurs" by N. Selander. Some pages have a small waterstain at the inner margin. The first German edition was from 1882 and first English edition was published not until 1885.
