Beschreibung

Photograph album, measuring 240mm x 310mm, and containing twenty-one silver gelatin photographs. The album is bound in a pebbled red cloth with gold gilt lettering stamped to the front; the page albums are thick black paper with tissue guards. The photographs each measure 210mm x 160mm and are matte silver gelatin prints. The subject matter for the photographs all surround Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, on his trip to the Falkland Islands Dependencies bases in the Antarctic in early January. The album itself has some wear along the edges, but the photographs are all in fine condition and all of the tissue guards are present. A fascinating and scarce photo album created to commemorate Prince Philip's visit to the Falkland Islands in early January of 1957. After opening the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Prince Philip left Australia on December 11th and sailed from New Zealand on December 17th in the HM Yacht Britannia. He traveled home through the South Atlantic, visiting several FIDS bases between the 1st and 4th of January, 1957, the Falkland Islands between the 7th and 9th of January and South Georgia on January 12th. Prince Philip is present in the majority of the photos, though there is a shot of the Britannia taken from a distance as well. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 142211
