image Circa 1910 Sepia Photogravure Print of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, from a photograph taken circa 1904-05, wearing the Victoria Order and the Polar Medal, sunken-in on a card measuring 38 x 51 cm, with facsimile signature of Scott and imprint below the image reading "Copyright Maull & Fox, 187 Piccadilly, London, W.". The Print is overprinted with "SPECIMEN" handstamp. A lovely and detailed print, with a few foxing spots and other small faults here and there, still would look great framed in a stamp room, etc. According to Wikipedia, Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery expedition of 1901–1904 and the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition of 1910–1913. On the first expedition, he set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S and discovered the Antarctic Plateau, on which the South Pole is located. On the second venture, Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912, less than five weeks after Amundsen's South Pole expedition. Non-specimen framed examples of this print have been selling at auction in England in the £900 to £1,100 range. (Image)
