'Thanks to a collaboration between Salto Ulbeek publishers and the Scott Polar Research Institute, a selection of Ponting’s Antarctic photographs are presented for the first time using the platinum printing process, a photographic technique renowned for its exceptional aesthetic and archival properties.'
The Herbert Ponting glass negatives were scanned an digitalised by the Belgian Salto Ulbeek team, lead by George Charlier. A selection was reproduced as platinum prints. I was able to see them at Salto's headquarters, and they are just amazing.
You can have a look at them over here.
There are five thematic sections:
- Explorers:
- Man and Sledge:
- Terre Nova:
- Cape Evans:
- Antarctica:
