The Wayfarers’ Journal, Number Six (First Edition)

The 1939 issue of the famous Wayfarers Journal. Importantly, the last to appear before the war, which destroyed or took the lives of many of the Journals contributors. Contains contributions from H. W. Tilman, J. M. Edwards, C. F. Kirkus, J. K. Cooke, and more. For some of the contributing climbers, this would be their last contributions.

Contains glassine plate guards. A faint marking to front cover and some mild darkening to spine. A small amount of faint foxing to foredge. Otherwise, fine. Clear and bright. A beautifully preserved and important work.
