The story of that photo on the cover is fascinating too. Frank Hurley. Not a single frame either, it's a montage made long before the advent of Photoshop :)

@ewen@photog.social Thereβs a little section of photos in the middle of the book β amazing that those photos were made at the time, and miraculous that they survived!

Oh yes. Imagine a bunch of lads rowing to elephant island in the hope of being rescued and eating penguins for six months... And the friggin photographer wants to preserve those ludicrous glass plates!
