[SHACKLETON (Sir Ernest Henry, 1874-1922, British Antarctic Explorer)]

A Fine Original Unsigned ferrotyped silver gelatin print Photograph showing him seated at a formal dinner, looking at the camera from the far end of the table, 6¾" x 4¾", no place, no date but circa slight damage to top left hand corner not affecting the image

Probably one of the last images before Shackleton set off on his last Expedition. The Shackleton–Rowett Expedition (1921–22) was Sir Ernest Shackleton's last Antarctic project, and the final episode in the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. The venture, financed by John Quiller Rowett, is sometimes referred to as the Quest Expedition after its ship Quest, a converted Norwegian sealer.
