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)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
