LONDON.- Bonhams is delighted to announce an exhibition of Edward Seago’s paintings of the Antarctic, by kind permission of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, May 28 – June 15. The paintings were executed during Prince Philip's tour of the Falkland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula during the austral summer of 1956-7 aboard HM Yacht Britannia. Invited guests, including the artist Edward Seago, accompanied the royal party. These paintings, from The Duke of Edinburgh's private collection, have rarely been placed on public view since their first exhibition at St James's Palace in November 1957. (Courtesy www.Artdaily.org)
