[Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914]. HURLEY, Frank

'The Pallid Glow of a Midwinter Noon at Cape Denison' [Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914]

A very large vintage blue-toned carbon print (visible image size 422 × 577 mm) on the original thick cardboard mount, recently matted, framed and glazed (external dimensions, an impressive 690 × 835 mm). The original printed label from the Fine Art Society, New Bond Street, London, is on the verso of the mount: 'This photograph is enlarged from a negative taken during Dr Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition ...'. The title and catalogue number (98) are manuscript insertions. The photograph is in excellent condition, and the print quality is superb.

Provenance: Sir Douglas Mawson (with the Mawson Estate stamp on the verso); by descent.
