拍品专文

Lillie was biologist on the expedition. Known as 'Ooze', he was mainly concerned with collecting deep sea organisms. His witty caricatures illustrated The South Polar Times. Here he caricatures Oates (in charge of the ponies, and nicknamed 'farmer') and Meares (in charge of the dogs) who became close companions at Cape Evans.
