Arctic explorer photographs Two Rare H. Whitney photos 1909. Peary / Bartlett.

Description

Rare north pole expedition photographs by Whitney. Along on the expedition to be put ashore for a hunting trip Whitney stayed over the winter and became a legendary figure in his own right. Whitney was present for the fiasco between Peary and Bartlett on who was first to the north pole. It was whitney who was holding onto Bartletts papers when Peary came to pick him back up. Naturally Peary was not interested in helping Bartlett so he refused to let Whitney abord with the books and papers of Bartlets expedion.The two photos listed here are original small atco? size photos.WHITNEY, HARRY. 1873-1936. Two photographs, gelatin silver prints, both are approximately 3 1/4 x 5 inches, each inscribed and dated in the images "H. Whitney 1909,".There is a third photo included, I do not know where it is from, but it shows a really good image of sled dogs on an ice flow, likely in greenland.
