"Scott's legacy has been buffered to and fro like the Antarctic wind over the past 100 years. In the aftermath of his death, which was not known about back home for almost another year, he was hailed as a hero by a declining Empire desperately in need of one. In later years, he has been traduced as an incompetent, indecisive amateur. Somewhere between the two, a middle ground can be found, emphasising his team's scientific discoveries and the extreme conditions they faced, without either condemning or cheerleading. Regardless, it is difficult not to feel a small Edwardian lump rising at the back of your throat when you read one of the final diary entries: 'Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.'" - Iain Hollingshead.

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition, signed limited issue, number 57 of 100 copies signed by Huxley. Created to raise money for the Quakers to distribute food in Spain, the pioneering collection gathers 60 artworks produced by children during the Spanish Civil War. This copy retains the scarce donation form. An accompanying exhibition opened at the L…ord & Taylor department store in New York City, then travelled to museums in Boston and Worcester. By shining a light on the lives of children within Spain, the project "was not just about denouncing the situation endured by these minors. They meant to open up a space where the latter could directly retell their own experiences" (Fernández-Fontecha). This was one of the first times that "the image of children as innocent victims was visually developed within a war context" and contemporaneously to the conflict (Fernández-Fontecha). Bromer B54.2. Leticia Fernández-Fontecha, quoted in "Eighty years later, book of children's drawings prefaced by Aldous Huxley sees the light in Spain", El País, 16 July 2019. Octavo. Captioned illustrations throughout. Original spiral-bound red card wrappers, silver title label printed in blue on front cover. Rubbing to extremities, nick to foot of front wrapper, occasional offsetting from captions. A very good copy.
