Expeditions would sometimes rely on commercial sponsorship, and numerous companies provided Scott's expedition with the equipment they needed, from foods and medical stores to woolly underwear and fuel. In return, the companies could use the expedition in their advertising. One of which was J. S. Fry & Sons, who provided the expedition with 'Fry's Pure Concentrated Cocoa.'
This hand painted creation is a reproduction concept of the crates that can still be found in Scott's Cape Evans hut.
