A new book looks at the history of polar exploration. Of particular note to BPH readers are a number of chapters of photographic interest which show and discuss the Goodsir daguerreotype and Adamson calotype of him, Challenger expedition icebergs, an early Beechey Island image, the Franklin daguerreotypes, Antarctic stereoviews, a pre-1900 Antarctica photo, and Ponting's kinematograph, although historic photography features throughout. The book has been researched and written by Anne Strathie who will be known to BPH readers through her recent biography of Herbert Ponting.
