Matthew Henson

from £1,200.00

A signed Arctic Mitt from 1909, belonging to Matthew Henson, who accompanied Robert Peary on expeditions for over 18 years. It became clear that Henson and not Peary had actually walked over the North Pole first, leading to Peary completely claiming the achievement for himself with no acknowledgement of Henson.
