Shackleton

Shackleton (Sir Ernest) Sir Ernest Shackleton will show for the first time the Marvellous Moving Pictures, and will tell the story of his latest Anarctic Expedition, programme, bifolium, 250 x 190mm, small portrait of Shackleton to upper wrapper, central fold, a few finger marks, [1919].

***A scarce survival. The show, which was held at the Philharmonic Hall, Great Portland Street, premiered footage by Frank Hurley from Shackleton's 'Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition' of 1914-1917, which ended with the party's daring escape across the ice and storm-lashed ocean to South Georgia on 20th May, 1916 after their ship Endurance became ice-bound..
