DESCRIPTION: The Vanity Fair portrait of Robert Falcon Scott, titled "The South Pole," was created by Richard Wallace Hester and published on February 19th, 1913. Scott, a renowned British explorer celebrated for his expeditions to Antarctica, is the subject of this artwork. Leading both the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), Scott became a symbol of exploration and adventure in the early 20th century. Hester's illustration captures the essence of Scott's adventurous spirit, with a particular focus on his imposing outfit—a big, burly, and long fur coat that exudes both practicality and handsomeness.
