100 years ago, the explorer Ernest Shackleton was determined to record his expedition to the Antarctic. His crew printed a book, not after the event but during it. And now in London, one of these incredibly rare editions is being sold by Sotheby’s. Meanwhile, Christie’s are expecting over £400,000 for a photograph by American Peter Beard in a sale of images that define the twentieth century.
