Vintage matte-finish photo of the ocean liner SS Euripides at sea, affixed to its original 9.75 x 7.75 mount, signed on the mount in fountain pen, "E. Rutherford," and by his wife, "Mary Rutherford." The mount is also signed by 20 others, including crew-members of the Euripides and members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, such as: Joseph Petavel (British physicist), Henry Tizard (English chemist and inventor), John Layard (English anthropologist and psychologist), W. H. R. Rivers (English anthropologist, neurologist, ethnologist, and psychiatrist), Thomas Hudson Beare (British engineer), Charles W. Kimmins (British educational psychologist), and more. In fine condition, with light foxing along the edges of the photo. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the grandson of the original recipient. In 1914 British scientists traveled to Australia for the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, which was to be held in several locations across the country. The event was meant to promote science, to progress an empire that was somewhat overshadowed when, having traveled thousands of miles from home, the members arrived to discover that war had broken out.
