ERIK ROHMAN (1891-1949) DEN VITA STADEN [INTO LITTLE AMERICA.] Circa 1935. 39x27 inches, 99x68 1/2 cm. Kopia, Stockholm. Condition B+: repaired tears and restoration in margins and corners; unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; creases in image. Little America was the name of Byrd's base camp in the Antarctic, and this was a fifty-three minute documentary about Byrd's second expedition there. The New York Times review explained how the movie captured elements of Antarctic life not often touched on by the popular press, pointing out that "such problems as the Saturday night bath, the care of luxuriant beards, finding shelter for cattle, feeding the dogs and cooking seal-fat doughnuts for breakfast have not figured in the headlines." Rohman's Art Deco treatment of the plane and even the penguins bespeaks his talent as an illustrator.
