Easter Sunday, 1902: A Botanical Delight in the Wardroom of the Polar Research Ship Discovery This illustration, published in the Illustrated London News on January 25, 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the wardroom of the Polar Research Ship Discovery during a moment of unexpected beauty and camaraderie. The scene unfolds on Easter Sunday, 1902, as several of the ship's officers gather around the dining table, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. Why the unusual gathering, you ask? The answer lies in the pots of crocuses that have been artfully arranged on the table. These delicate spring blooms, with their vibrant purple and white hues, have somehow found their way onto the ship, bringing a burst of color and life to the otherwise monochromatic world of the polar expedition. The officers, dressed in their formal attire, can be seen climbing onto the table to get a closer look at the blooms, their expressions reflecting a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty of nature, even amidst the harsh conditions of the polar voyage. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and connection in the most unexpected places. The Polar Research Ship Discovery, commanded by the renowned polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott, embarked on its fateful journey to the Antarctic in late 1901. This illustration, a testament to the crew's resilience and their appreciation for the simple pleasures in life, offers a unique window into the history of polar exploration and the enduring allure of the natural world.
