Polarworld, in association with the Scott Polar Research Institute,
announces a new publication: "Face to Face: Polar Portraits." This
publication brings together rare, unpublished, images from the historic
collections of the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI), University of
Cambridge, and modern imagery from expedition photographer Martin
Hartley.
This unique book, by Huw Lewis-Jones, is the first to examine the
history and role of polar exploration photography, and showcases the
very first polar photographs of 1845 through to images from the present
day. It features the first portraits of explorers, some of the earliest
photographs of the Inuit, and rare images never before published from
many of the Heroic-Age Antarctic expeditions. Almost all the historic
imagery - daguerreotypes, magic lantern slides, glass plate negatives,
and images from private albums - has never been before the public eye.
