Captain Robert Falcon Scott, R.N., C.V.O.

This studio photograph dates to 1904-5, with Scott wearing the Victorian Order and Polar Medal from the National Antarctic Expedition, 1901-1904. The portrait was used as the frontispiece to volume 2 of Scott's The Voyage of the 'Discovery' (London, 1905) and later re-issued with Kathleen Scott's approval to commemorate his death, the profits going to the Mansion House Scott memorial fund.
