[edit] Group photographs

I wonder if the two group shots might look better if reproduced in a larger size. (I know one can click on them to see the large original, but even so, I'd be inclined to experiment with 300px or even 350.) I've tentatively resized one to 300. See what you think.

[edit] Cash values 1909 to date

"Shackleton paid him a salary of £250 a year for this (2008 equivalent £12,000)" - provenance for this equivalent? See the site Measuringworth.com, which gives these values (2006 being the latest across-the-board comparison available):

In 2006, £250 0s 0d from 1909 was worth:

  • £17,907.75 using the retail price index
  • £23,047.29 using the GDP deflator
  • £94,747.97 using the average earnings
  • £116,455.98 using the per capita GDP
  • £158,342.98 using the share of GDP
