* Herbert George Ponting [1870-1935] - A Fakir of Holy Benares carbon print:- 34 x 45.5cm., sheet size 37.5 x 48.8cm. captioned and signed H.G. Ponting in ink in lower margin * Biography Herbert George Ponting [1870 - 1935] Born to a wealthy English West Country family, in the early 1890s Herbert Ponting emigrated to California where he bought a fruit farm and also became a partner in a gold mining enterprise. Both enterprises soon foundered; he was totally inept as a businessman and he turned to photography, where he found a ready market for his work. In the ten years preceding his appointment as photographer to Captain Scott's Polar Expedition (1910) which brought him fame, he travelled the world as a freelance. Ponting's first major commission was for Underwood & Underwood, the leading publishers of stereo cards, who dispatched him to the Orient, where he remained to cover the Russo-Japanese war. He spent a further two years in China, India and South East Asia, before returning to Europe where in 1908 he photographed the Swiss and French Alps. The images offered here fall within this defined period, with exception of Terra Nova in a Gale taken en route to the Polar regions. Ponting's large-scale carbon prints (up to 40 x 60 inches) are first mentioned in H.J.P. Arnold: Photographer of the World, A Biography of Herbert Ponting in connection with the Dresden International Photographic Exhibition, 1909, and thereafter they continued to be produced on a smaller scale for other exhibitions and for public sale. The prints offered here were Ponting's own, inherited by the vendor from his grandfather who purchased them in July 1935 at the executors' sale of Ponting's cameras and photographs.
