EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Arctic in July 1821, offering a glimpse into the world of early polar exploration. The image depicts a breathtaking view of the Arctic Sea from the mouth of the Copper Mine River, captured at midnight. It is based on a coloured aquatint from Sir John Franklin's renowned narrative, "Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea" published between 1819 and 1822. The scene showcases an English expedition camped by the riverbank, their tents illuminated by soft candlelight against the backdrop of an endless icy expanse. This historical illustration transports us to a time when intrepid explorers braved harsh conditions and unknown territories in search of new frontiers. The print not only captures this pivotal moment in history but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience. It reminds us of our innate desire for discovery and understanding, even in some of Earth's most unforgiving regions. As we gaze upon this archival gem, we are transported back two centuries ago when Sir John Franklin led his team through uncharted waters towards untold adventures. This remarkable piece offers us a window into their world—a world where midnight sunsets painted surreal landscapes across vast stretches of ice-covered seas—an enduring symbol that continues to inspire generations fascinated by exploration and its indomitable spirit.
