EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of Edward Bingham" captures a moment frozen in time during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. Taken by the talented photographer Henry Iliffe Cozens (1904-1995), this image offers a glimpse into the life and character of Edward William Bingham. In this portrait, we see Bingham seated on a rugged rock formation, clad in full-length rubber waders that protect him from the harsh Arctic conditions. A fishing rod leans against the rock beside him, hinting at his love for angling and perhaps providing sustenance for their remote expedition. Two freshly caught fish lie prominently on the rock, evidence of his successful endeavors. As he gazes thoughtfully into the distance, pipe in hand and smoke gently wafting around him, Bingham exudes an air of tranquility amidst nature's grandeur. His trilby hat adds a touch of sophistication to his attire while also protecting him from any inclement weather they may have encountered. This remarkable photograph is part of University of Cambridge SPRI's collection at Scott Polar Research Institute. It serves as a testament to both Cozens' skillful artistry behind the lens and Bingham's adventurous spirit as an explorer braving extreme environments. Through this image, we are transported back to an era when intrepid individuals ventured into uncharted territories with unwavering determination. It reminds us not only of their courage but also highlights how photography can preserve these extraordinary moments forever. The "Portrait of Edward Bingham" invites us to reflect upon our own connection with nature and ponder what it means to be truly immersed in such awe-inspiring landscapes – where man meets wilderness in its purest form.
