Hommage a l'Explorateur Sir Ernest Shackleton, issued in 2005 and simply known as Shackleton, seems appropriate for today’s memorial scarf, with a sub-theme of Hope. Although Shackleton’s Antarctic exploration accomplishments earned the born Irish/raised English man a knighthood, they dimmed in the light of explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen, contemporaries in the early 20th century’s Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

What Shackleton is known for best, and illustrated in this design by Zoe Pauwels, is managing to keep alive — for two years — and rescue his crew of 28 when their ship Endurance was crushed in the ice during a 1914-1918 expedition to Antartica. Their journey on the ice and in lifeboats covered more than 700 nautical miles. Pauwels captures the essence of this journey from crushing a ship on top to penquins below near Cape Horn, Chile, where the majority of crew members stayed while Shackleton led a few to South Georgia Island, aka The Last Godforesaken Place, where he arranged the rescue of all.

To borrow from wikipedia’s account: In his 1956 address to the British Science Association, Sir Raymond Priestley, one of his contemporaries, said "Scott for scientific method, Amundsen for speed and efficiency but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton", paraphrasing what Apsley Cherry-Garrard had written in a preface to The Worst Journey in the World.

Merry Christmas and Happy Yule to everyone!

Just a few for this week from me, as apparently I don't do either history or pale scarves. :lol:

I think this one counts though. Paridaiza. It's been released 3 times. The first was a special edition for the Friends of the Public Garden (Boston public parks advocacy group) though this one is from the second release.

And fifi showed us Cavaliers d'Or earlier this week, which of course was inspired by Scythian jewelry and ornamentation.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and many sweet orange dreams!
I’ve been wearing my Noel au Faubourg 24 a lot these past few weeks. This is one of the most wonderful scarves to celebrate a special event/occasion ever made by Hermès. My pic was taken last Sunday

Thank you so much! The PM is so special! Since I have an Instagram account where I post my scarves with detailed background info, I fortunately had the research completed on many of these.
