No current Talk conversations about this book. 3 stars/Non-Fiction; Photography I enjoyed this little walk back into history to read about Captain Scott and view some of his images of his expedition to Antartica in the early 1900's. Unfortunately, he underestimated the conditions of the environment he was working in and perished as a result of it. This book gives you a glimpse of what Captain Scott and his team endured throughout their journey to capture the images. It is apparent through the information presented that they were all very brave to have attempted such a trip. Beautifully produced book of the photos taken by Robert Scott on the Terra Nova expedition alongside the story of how they came to be taken, how they were lost and found again. Of obvious interest for polar history, but also important in the development of photography in extreme conditions and proto-Modernism in art. no reviews | add a review
