(7)*Notes- Herbert Ponting (1870-1935) was a professional photographer who was the expedition photographer and cinematographer on Captain Scott's British Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913 during which he captured some of the most enduring images of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. In 1914 he gave a series of lectures with films of the expedition. The advertising card in this group is a different version from others as this card does not have the line 'Scene after scene of imitable comedy.-Daily Telegraph' to the front lower margin but is included in the full review on the reverse of the card.
