This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Asking for unheard-of imagery over the Internet's not a new thing...
Just remembered another vital historical anniversary today: the 10th of one of my favourite interactions on the old place, with @chazhutton.com
![Screenshot from Twitter in the olden times: "Chaz Hutton, Jan 16, 2016: Any drawings requests? The weirder the better. Go." "Chris Coates, Jan 16, 2016: I'd like to see a pillar box growing out of Bob Holness's head, please" "Chaz Hutton: Replying to @MulberryCoates: most surreal so far..."
[there follows a drawing on a post-it note of a grimacing man in glasses with a red pillar box growing out of his head. There are two dots in the letter slot, suggesting that a small creature or person may be trapped inside. Nothing in all of human knowledge can explain it]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vckf3haopb3yncclmf7o2m3f/bafkreiczyrntcfcx2iksx5zxpv45c4xcjof4tgwtnixil32zpng5khsgee@jpeg)

Praise be! It is the 277th anniversary of the ‘appearance’ of the Bottle Conjuror at London’s Haymarket. He promised to insert himself into a quart (two pint) bottle, and didn’t turn up, leading to a riot in which the theatre’s fixtures and fittings were torn out and thrown on a bonfire 🧵

Jill in the village shop says she’s thinking of defecating to Reform.
She has started baking Clacton Baps, told us London has fallen & keeps asking for the migration status of every customer.
She says Dubai is where she longs to be as she is a committed Christian.
