  • Beautiful Deluxe edition (as well one of the, still VERY nice, standard copies) arrived last week. Love it!

  • @XavierNinnis We are talking of the end of the victorian age by the 1910 – 1913 Terra Nova expedition you can see how film had taken over some aspects of recording with the wonderful ‘Ponting’ Photographs.

    After Ponting who was also one of the first men to use a portable movie camra in Antarctica, the recording of Expeditions changed, and so the day of the Great Expedion Artist was over, true artists still recorded expeditions but they shared the job with photographers.

  • @XavierNinnis

    I think that people are not reading the sentence (Edward Adrian Wilson was the last of the Great Expedition Artists) in the way in was intended.

    Due to the infancy of photography up until the end of the Victorian age and Edward Wilson sailed on the 1901 expedition to Antarctica as the expeditions Surgeon, Zoologist and Artist.

    As the expedition artist of that time he would record everything in paint and pencil that would in later expeditions be done by camera and film

  • "last of the great expedition artists"?

    So, what's it going to be; either you're saying, sorry, I should've written "the person who wrote the narrative for this clip is saying that" George Marston was no artist, or that Shackleton's "Endurance" Expedition isn't to be counted among the great expeditions.

    Which is it?

  • ". . . last of the great expedition artists"?
