Description: | A head to torso portrait of Captain Francis R. M. Crozier seated in the undress uniform of a Royal Navy captain. His hands are placed on his lap. Crozier is seated angled slightly to his left away from the camera. The photograph was taken just before the expedition under Sir John Franklin's leadership left London to search for a North-West Passage on 19 May 1845. Crozier was captain of HMS Terror (1813) on this expedition.
This is a photographic copy of the daguerreotype now held at the Scott Polar Research Institute. The image tends to be printed in reverse. The correct orientation is yet to be confirmed. | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Subjects: | Francis Rawden Moira Crozier | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Creator: | Beard, Richard | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
