Portraits of Carse
A number of expedition images of Carse from 1934-1937 are now in the Scott Polar Research Institute on line archive, Freeze Frame.
The Falkland Islands Philatelic Bureau issued postage stamps to commemorate Carse's life.
One photographic portrait exists in the National Portrait Gallery by Howard Coster.
Duncan Carse died shortly after finally agreeing to a portrait sitting but in discussion with his wife Venetia, it was agreed that it would be fitting to work on the sculpture with reference to visual memories, a photographic archive of 60 years of images and with her help. Bronze portrait busts of Carse by sculptor Jon Edgar are now held in public collections at South Georgia Museum, South Atlantic and the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge University, UK. The terracotta original is held in the collection of the artist.

Famous quotes containing the words portraits of and/or portraits:
“... while I may paint in the tints or outlines of rocks and beaches, dawns and harbor, fleet and wharf, I never draw portraits of my neighbors or of my friends.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
