An extensive collection of black/white images are presented for the seven pre-war expeditions (1921, 1922, 1924, 1933, 1935, 1936, 1938). Also, using the vast resources of the RGS, this represents one of the largest assemblage of images relating to the 1953 expedition ever published together. This book weighs 5.25 pounds.
