SHACKLETON, Ernest (1873-1922). Commemorative postcard of Mount Erebus with autograph note dated 12 Nov 1909. 'I consider that the use of Plasmon biscuits and Plasmon chocolate greatly helped our marching, and that Plasmon in my opinion is indispensable as a food in the Polar Regions both North and South'
Addressed from The British Antarctic Expedition's headquarters at 9 Regent Street, Shackleton writes endorsing the Plasmon biscuits which were vital to his expedition. 'Biscuits are a standard food ... and in this matter I had made a departure from the example of the previous expedition ... The Plasmon Company supplied a ton of the best wholemeal biscuit, containing 25 per cent. of plasmon; the plasmon tended to harden the biscuit, and, as is well known, it is an excellent food. These biscuits were specially baked, and, with an allowance of one pound for each man per day, were a distinct advance on the farinaceous food of the previous expedition' (Shackleton The Heart of the Antarctic, reprint, New York, 1999, p.156-7).
