Edward W. (1843-1914): A Name Linked to Two Distinct Worlds - The American West and Antarctic Exploration Edward W. Hutchings, an American painter, captured the essence of the Western frontier through his works, most notably "Tasunka, Ota (alias Plenty Horses), the slayer of Lieut. Casey, near Pine Ridge, SD, 1891." This powerful image of the Lakota leader, also known as Plenty Horses, was created by Hutchings in collaboration with Pierre E. Guerin. Conversely, Edward W. Was also a prominent figure in Antarctic exploration. He joined the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1911-1913) led by Sir Robert Falcon Scott, serving as a photographer and filmmaker. His images from this expedition, such as "Captain Scotts Last Birthday Dinner, 6 Jun 1911," and "The Main Party at Cape Evans After The Winter, 1911," are invaluable records of this historic journey. Moreover, Edward W. Was the founder of the only original University Singers of New Orleans, which operated from 1877 to 1890. His contributions to both the American West and Antarctic exploration make Edward W. A fascinating figure in American history. Additional works by Edward W. Include "Center Table, 1869," "E. W. Nelson with the Nansen-Petersen Insulated Water-Bottle, c1911," "Southern Party 1912," "Midwinter Day, 1912 - The Officers," and "Nelson and His Gear, c1911." These works, along with his collaborations with Hutchings and Guerin, showcase the breadth of Edward W.'s artistic talents and his role in documenting significant moments in American and Antarctic history.
