Nares Expedition

Carte de Viste Composite Photograph of the Crew of H.M.S. Alert Polar Expedition 1875 Including the Dog Mascot

Portsea F.Johnson 1875, Photograph Very good. 1875. (Photograph) Very good. Origninal vintagealbumen photograph (6.5 X 10.3 CM) on original printed mount. Minor soiling and small tape stain on rear. Small old crease just effecting the image but not very visible. A very nice example. This wonderful CDV comprises an image of each crew member and the mascot. The central image is of the ship. Souvenir photographs of both the Alert and the Discovery were taken by rival photographers before the departure of the expedition. Both produced CDV copes as well as much larger examples. Although quite small each potrait is very clear and the name of the individual is usually readable with a magnifing glass. Very Scarce.
