EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Arctic Travelling" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in a world of exploration and adventure. The illustration is from the renowned book "Voyage to Baffins Bay and Barrow Straits" which documents an expedition undertaken in 1850-51 by Mr William Perry in search of HMS Erebus and Terror. In this scene, we witness a group of intrepid explorers braving the frozen Arctic waters aboard their trusty vessels, HMS Lady Franklin and Sophia. Dressed in traditional attire, they are engaged in various activities that showcase both leisurely pursuits and essential tasks for survival. Some can be seen playing games on deck or fishing with great enthusiasm, while others diligently navigate through icy passages. The bright sunshine casts its golden glow upon these courageous men as they embark on their voyage towards the North Pole. Their mission is not only one of discovery but also a daring rescue operation to find their lost compatriots aboard HMS Erebus. The image captures the spirit of determination that characterized British explorers during this era. It highlights the juxtaposition between moments of playfulness and serious undertakings amidst breathtaking Arctic scenery. As we gaze at this print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we cannot help but admire the bravery exhibited by these adventurers as they push boundaries in pursuit of knowledge and glory.
