On behalf of the Japan Society in London, a charity organisation promoting learning and understanding between Japan and the UK I wanted to invite you to our upcoming free online lecture on photographer Herbert Ponting. The lecture will explore the life and career of Ponting focusing on his work in Japan, but it will also touch upon his previous experience as photographer and filmmaker for Captain Scott’s second Antarctic Expedition (1910-13).
You can find all the details and how to book on our page, or please let us know if you have any questions (events@japansociety.org.uk). We look forward to seeing you online at the lecture.
Best regards,
Alejandra, The Japan Society
