專家說明

A pupil of Tonks at the Slade School of Art, Francis Helps was the official artist on the British Mount Everest Expedition, 1924, which saw Mallory and Irvine lose their lives on the mountain. A selection of his expedition paintings and drawings was exhibited alongside Noel's photographs at the Alpine Club in 1925 (Exhibition of Paintings and Photographs by Francis Helps and Capt. J. B. L. Noel from the Mount Everest Expedition, 1924, Jan.-Feb. 1925). The expedition surgeon, T. Howard Somervell, also sketched on the expedition.
