SHACKLETON, Ernest H. (1874-1922). Typed letter signed (“E. H. Shackleton”) to William Henry Rideing, London, 5 November 1912.

One page, 255 x 203mm, on letterhead (clean). Provenance: John Michael Lang.

A signed letter from Shackleton concerning a submission to Youth’s Companion magazine, with the original article. The article, "The Making of an Explorer," begins: "the qualities that in my opinion are necessary to the explorer are, in the order of their relative importance: first, optimism; second, patience; third, physical endurance; fourth, idealism; fifth and last, courage." The article appeared two days before Shackleton’s departure on the Endurance—it would be two years before any more news was heard from the explorer and how he saved all his men after the ship was crushed by the ice.

[With:] The Youth’s Companion, Volume 88, Number 31, 30 July 1914. 403 x 276mm (small repairs to edges). Provenance: Clayton Fine Books.
