细节
[Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922)]
Margarete GEIBEL (etcher). Original etched copper printing-plate, [circa 1910], 11 x 10.2cm., bearing image of Shackleton's 'ex libris'.
[With:] two proof pulls from the plate, each 13.1 x 11.3cm. approx.
PROVENANCE:
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922), and thence by descent.
Margarete Geibel, the daughter of painter Casimir Geibel, was born in Weimar in 1876 and is noted in Bénézit as an engraver. It appears that Shackleton did not use this bookplate but the image shows the Nimrod at the edge of the ice-pack, with penguins, the sun setting, and in the foreground a copy of Aurora Australis held up and open at the title page.
