Roger Fenton's Photographs of the Crimea, 1855

Shadows of War

Among the many treasures of the Royal Photograph Collection at Windsor is a handsome album entitled The Property of the Queen Photographs of Dogs in the Royal Kennel, Windsor. It is perhaps the earliest official record of the Royal Family and their many canine companions from Queen Victorias beloved confidante, her spaniel, Dash, to Prince Alberts elegant greyhounds; from Edward VII and his charming if disreputable fox-terrier, Caesar, to Queen Alexandra and her collection of exotic toy-dogs. Taking the album as its starting point, this book records over a century of royal pets, immortalised with owners and without, in photographs that range from the serene to the ridiculous. Paintings and works of art from the Royal Collection complete the story or stories, in some cases the creation of Landseers famous painting Dignity and Impudence, the arrival of the first Pekinese in England, and Caesars finest hour, as a masterpiece from the workshop of Carl Fabergé.

A treasure trove of photographs—some never before reproduced in book form—from the two greatest Antarctic expeditions. Among the greatest achievements in the history of photography, those of the early polar explorers surely stand out, for the beauty of their images and the almost impossible conditions they encountered. And none of these are more remarkable than the photographs recorded by the official chroniclers of two epic Antarctic expeditions—that of Robert Falcon Scott, departed in 1910, which tragically resulted in his death; and, four years later, that of Ernest Shackleton, whose heroic sea journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia has become the stuff of legend. Their photographers—Herbert George Ponting and Frank Hurley—transported bulky cameras and glass plate negatives across the forbidding polar landscape to record some of the earliest images of this dramatic environment. That the photographs survived to be presented on their return to King George V is miraculous, and they have remained ever since in the Royal Collection. The Heart of the Great Alone reproduces the best of these marvelous images, some of which have never appeared in book form before—ships encased in ice floes, ice cliffs and ravines, campsites and dog sleds, and the incomparable beauty of Antarctic flora and fauna. Together they form an invaluable record of an environment that global warming has forever changed. With a superb narrative drawing on Ponting’s and Hurley’s writings and other unique archival material from the Royal Collection, and with extended captions for each image, this book is a unique addition to the literature of polar exploration.
