Description: This image depicts North Pole Arctic explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton before his ill-fated final voyage in 1914-- "Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition" with the Endurance. This print was made just after his 1909 Nimrod voyage, in which he and three companions made a southern march which established a record Farthest South latitude at 88°23'S, 97 geographical miles (114 statute miles, 190 km) from the South Pole, by far the closest convergence in exploration history up to that time. For this achievement, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home. You are bidding on a print dating from 1913. This beautiful print has sepia (brown) tone on thick paper. It utilizes a fine random-dot pattern for fluid tones and fine detail (when compared to the more common half-tone processes common today.) There is a detailed story on the back that describes the image. The page measures approx. 9.25 x 6.75 inches (23.5 x 17.2 cm) with just a narrow margin and a small caption below. PLEASE NOTE there is a small tack or pin hole in the far left corner of the print. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
