Keith Jack was an Australian science teacher who went to Antarctica with the Ross Sea Party. His collection of transparencies, most of which he is believed to have photographed, was bequeathed to the National Museum of Victoria, Australia, and is now in the State Library of Victoria. This article examines six slides in terms of the record they provide of aspects of the expedition, and for their pictorial qualities, including the contribution of a Melbourne lantern-slide colourist. Colour was rare in polar photography of the time, and the slides reflect the documentary commitment and creative skills of Keith Jack and the artist who enhanced their appeal for a contemporary audience |
