EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Arctic Searching Squadron" takes us back to the 19th century when polar expeditions were at their peak. The image showcases a group of brave explorers led by Captain Sir E. Belcher, who embarked on a perilous journey in search of the legendary Northwest Passage. In this scene, we see the expedition's ship, Resolute, surrounded by icy waters as it navigates through treacherous conditions. The crew members are depicted with determination and resilience as they face the harsh realities of Arctic exploration. Captain Pullen stands tall beside his comrades, embodying leadership and courage in the face of adversity. Their loyal companions from Commander North Star accompany them on this daring quest for discovery. The Arctic Searching Squadron was an essential part of this historic mission, aiming to locate any traces or information about the ill-fated John Franklin expedition. With Captain Kellett also present on board, these intrepid individuals spared no effort in their pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within these frozen lands. This remarkable print not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a reminder of humanity's unyielding spirit when faced with unknown territories. It is a testament to our insatiable curiosity and unwavering determination to explore even the most remote corners of our planet.
