Face to Face, Polar Portraits
By Huw Lewis-Jones
Written to accompany a touring exhibition, this unique book is the first to examine the history and role of polar exploration photography and showcases the very first polar photographs of 1845 through to images of the present day. Focussing on portraiture, Face to Face draws attention to the collections of historical images held by the Scott Polar Research Institute which have been captured and preserved in digital form by the FREEZE FRAME project. Almost all the historic imagery - daguerreotypes, magic lantern slides, glass plate negatives and images from private albums - have never been before the public eye. The book also looks at the contemporary polar world with a range of new commissions by the leading expedition photographer, Martin Hartley.
The book is available for sale through the Scott Polar Research Institute Museum Shop.
Paperback £25.00 / Hardback £40.00
