Note du spécialiste

A fine set of vintage contact prints, including photographs taken by Scott and Bowers on the southern journey, the Polar Party at the South Pole, sledging on the Barrier and Plateau, the Search Party, and interiors at Cape Evans. The mounts all titled in ink and pencilled in Cyrillic, presumably for publication.
