Player's Antarctic cigarette cards and the involvement of ‘Teddy’ Evans
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2010
Abstract
During World War 1 John Player & Sons issued two series of cigarette cards, both entitled ‘Polar Exploration’. The first, probably issued in 1915, covered both Arctic and Antarctic subjects, but the second, issued in 1916, confined itself to the southern continent. Eight cards from the first series were derived from Shackleton's book The heart of the Antarctic. Commander E.R.G.R. ‘Teddy’ Evans, captain of R.F. Scott's vessel Terra Nova, was responsible for both the illustrations and texts of the cards in the second series.
