Mapping the Antarctic: Photography, Colour and the Scientific Expedition in Public Exhibition
Early 1900s Polar expeditions experimented with photography to supplement established modes of documentation, from the work of exploration to scientific study (zoology, geography, meteorology). In recognition of the economic and educational potential of visual records, R.F. Scott employed ‘camera ar...
