Retrospective map - 2012 is the centenary of Scott's fateful expedition to the South Pole. In commemoration of this, Plymouth artist, Cheri Hunston was commissioned by the ISCE to produce an original piece of artwork: The International Scott Centenary Expedition Commemorative Map.

The map took 330 hours to complete, with over 30 hours research. All hand drawn in ink, capturing late Victorian and early Edwardian style, it is intricately detailed and portrays the story of Scott’s expedition, as well as a sense of the uniqueness of Antarctica and its inhabitants.

The International Scott Centenary Expedition 2012 is an expedition to the last tent site of Captain Robert Falcon Scott to hold a memorial service on the centenary of his death. The patrons of the expedition include Jonathan Band. The expedition will be led by Antony Jinman and Felicity Aston, who previously led the Kaspersky Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition. The expedition's goal is to commemorate the death of Scott.

Biography:


Scott Antarctic Map by Cheri Hunston

Cheri Hunston MA
Artist, author and illustrator based in South Devon.

"All my life I have walked between two worlds. In this one I got on with the business of living. I was always aware of the other, the world of my imagination.

Farnworth in Lancashire was my hometown. Its cobbled streets, lined with red brick, terraced houses were my playgrounds. I would make stories up for my friends and we would enact them for hours in the back streets. In the evenings I would sit in front of the television as my mum made tea and I would draw, copying my favourite illustrations.

After working as a model in London for a while, I realized just how much I missed the country and so I moved to Devon where I married and had my daughter. As a mature student, I read literature and philosophy at university, specializing in fairy and fantasy stories of the Victorian era. I worked as English teacher and then an English consultant whilst completing my master's degree in creative writing, again focusing on fantasy and fairy tale."

"Cheri Hunston has produced a remarkable artwork to mark the centenary of Scott's Last Expedition and the ISCE2012 project. It makes a wonderful souvenir of this remarkable year. Her pen and ink work is distinguished and a worthy testament to the work of those she salutes from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, especially mapmakers and artists. She has incorporated so many references, both historic and current, into the details of her Antarctic centenary map that I constantly find new delights in it. It brings much enjoyment to this Antarctic buff and will do so for years to come to the hundred lucky people who manage to obtain prints. Congratulations to Cheri on a wonderful piece of work."

Dr David M. Wilson, Polar Historian and great nephew of Dr Edward Wilson of the Antarctic


"A splendid portrayal of the expedition ship, presenting an exciting image of Terra Nova and complimenting this excellent illustration of maritime cartography.”

  Michael C. Tarver  Author  of  SS Terra Nova (1884-1943) Whaler, Sealer and Polar Expedition Ship
