EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sphere Memorial Number: A Tribute to Captain Robert Falcon Scott and His Heroic Comrades of the Terra Nova Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) This evocative cover illustration, created by the renowned Italian artist Fortunino Matania for The Sphere Memorial Number, commemorates the tragic yet heroic story of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team, who perished on their return journey from their attempt to reach the South Pole. The date, 1913, marks the year that the grim news of their demise reached the world. Captain Scott, depicted near death, is shown handing his last message to an angel, symbolizing the eternal nature of their story and the importance of sharing their heroic endeavor with future generations. The sentimental and allegorical style of the illustration captures the spirit of sacrifice and duty that defined the Terra Nova Expedition. Scott and his team, including Lawrence Oates, Edgar Evans, Henry Bowers, and Edwin Evans, had been beaten to the pole by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Despite this setback, Scott pressed on, driven by his unwavering sense of duty and determination to complete the expedition's scientific objectives. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of exploration and knowledge. The Sphere Memorial Number, published in 1913, was a testament to the enduring legacy of Captain Scott and his comrades, whose story continues to inspire us today.
