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.

These photographs in the MATAS series may bring a Dionysian understanding of nature's complexity that surpasses the scientific, distant, and the binary way of approaching meaning. Representing the organic using the chemistry of light in an organic way is more reminiscent of the myth.
