About the Item
PONTING, Herbert.
Bowers returned from Southern journey.
circa 1935.
Classic Ponting photograph from Captain Scott’s Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913). Showing Henry Robertson Bowers, one of the members of Robert Falcon Scott's polar party who perished on their way back from the South Pole.
The Terra Nova expedition was supposed to be the high-water mark of the Golden Age of Antarctic exploration; led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the expedition was intended to be the first to reach the South Pole, and to mark the event with the planting of the Union Jack. However the more professionally equipped Norwegian expedition led by Roald Amundsen got there first. Nevertheless this expedition will always be the one best remembered on account of the tremendous courage and bravery shown by Scott and his companions, Wilson, Bowers, Oates, and Evans on their return from the Pole in appalling conditions - perhaps best exemplified by Lawrence “Titus” Oates who walked from the tent into a blizzard whilst suffering from frostbite and gangrene, knowing that he was not going to survive the journey but hoping that his self-sacrifice might help the others survive.
The photographs were originally published by the Fine Art Society in 1914 in larger format using a different process. It is difficult to date images such as ours, printed at a later date from the original negatives, however based on external evidence from previous examples we date the present image to circa 1935.
Silver gelatin print, mounted, framed and glazed, captioned below image on mount. Image size: 287 x 211 mm; framed: 355 x 279 mm x 10mm.

Father Neophitus
By Micha Bar-Am
Located in Mount Pleasant, SC
Father Neophitus, Santa Katarina Monastery, Sinai, 1967. It was 3 or 4 a.m. The Greek Orthodox priest had just finished baking bread and was back in his cell for a glass of ouzo and a hand-rolled cigarette. In the morning the bread would be given to Bedouin in the area in accordance with an agreement made centuries ago, which guaranteed the safety of the small group of monks among tribes that were initially hostile.
