interesting that we still don't have a "post-colonial" way to tell stories of ordinary empire days (#frankwild in south africa in the 30s)

beautiful arts&crafts-era red&black book printed on nimrod expedition: #frankwild did a printing course to learn how #antarcticfever

the #frankwild documentary is v poorly written and the narrator annoyingly chipper, but the images and objects are gorgeous #antarcticfever
