2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of Robert Falcon Scott's death and the race to the South Pole. Paintings and drawings created on the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) are among the images available for licensing from the archival collections.
The Scott Polar Research Institute is a long-established centre for research into both polar regions which is part of the University of Cambridge and currently in the running for the Art Fund Prize 2011, the UK's largest arts prize. Images available for licensing via the Bridgeman Art Library include the tools and clothing worn and used by Scott, the last page in Scott's diary before he died, portraits of arctic explorers and delicate, beautiful watercolours of the Antarctic landscape by Edward Wilson amongst others.
