The great White South

White South

Englishman Herbert Ponting — the tireless traveller, whose first photographic passion became the East.

He has devoted first ten years of the photographic career to Japan, China, India, Korea. Ponting co-operated with illustrated magazines, like "Illustrated London News" and "Harper’s Weekly" (for the last Ponting documented the Russian-Japanese war). But the world popularity and a recognition of descendants Herbert Ponting has received as the pioneer of professional photographing of the Great White South.

Result of participation of Herbert Pontinga as the professional photographer in Robert Skott (Antarctic researches of 1910-1913) was the collection of glass negatives numbering about 1700 copies. Practically all photos of participants frankly production.

The command of Scott has got used to a special kind of activity — «to be given to virtuosity».
Besides, many pictures became only for advertising sponsors — tinned beans "Heinz" or cocoa "Fry’s". Last the campaign of Scott, as is known — has appeared tragical, however, Herbert Ponting — from participation has refused.
