Funeral of Campbell, the Poet, in Westminster Abbey, 3 July 1844. Creator: Unknown

Funeral of Campbell, the Poet, in Westminster Abbey, 3 July 1844. Burial of Scottish poet Thomas Campbell:a host of men of all ranks and parties of literary men, of artists, and of friends...flocked to his funeral...The mourners...assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, which is an ancient room...situated on the north side of the Abbey...The corpse, which had been landed last week from Boulogne, and which was brought to London, was removed to a small apartment in the Abbey, called, we believe, the "Room of the Spirit", ...and all the preparations for the solemn occasion duly made. The pall-bearers and chief mourners put on their sable weeds...at ten minutes to twelve o'clock, the procession, which passed at once from the Jerusalem Chamber, by a private way, into the Abbey'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

Group After Winter in Igloo, 1912, (1913). Northern Party after winter in snow cave: Priestley, Levick, Dickason, Browning and Abbott, looking dirty and dishevelled. Petty Officer George Abbot, Able seaman Harry Dickason, Petty officer Frank Browning, geologist Raymond Priestley, Lieutenant Victor Campbell and surgeon George Murray Levick were forced to overwinter in a cramped ice cave when pack ice prevented the Terra Nova from picking them up. The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scott's Last Expedition, Volume II. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]
