EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Franklin Relics" an engraving from the 19th century that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of polar expeditions. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on November 4,1854. Intricate details come to life as we explore this historical artifact.

A compass stands proudly amidst a backdrop of flannel shirts and pieces of plates—a testament to the harsh conditions faced by explorers during their arduous journeys.
