專家說明

This photograph depicts the historic silk Stars and Stripes made by Robert Peary's wife in 1898. He wore it about his body while in the field, and when he reached five of his objectives toward the Pole, he left behind a remnant of the flag. The flag was presented to the National Geographic Society in 1954.
The photograph of Peary displays the flag before he cut the fragment he was to leave in the cairn at Cape Thomas Hubbard. In the foreground, Peary's equipment rests on the rock slope. This remnant was later recovered from Cape Thomas Hubbard.
