EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, dating back to the 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the historic Jackson-Harmsworth Polar Expedition. The image showcases a pivotal moment in this remarkable voyage, as it captures the expedition's ships sailing through treacherous icy waters towards their destination. Led by Mr. Frederick George Jackson and supported by generous donors such as Mr. A. C. Harmsworth, this daring expedition aimed to explore Franz Josef Land—an uncharted territory in the Arctic region. As depicted in this print, their whaling steam ship Windward stands tall amidst frozen landscapes, symbolizing both hope and determination. The significance of this illustration lies not only in its portrayal of maritime adventure but also in its connection to literature and exploration.

Through their courageous efforts and unwavering spirit, these explorers paved the way for future polar expeditions while inspiring generations with tales of bravery against nature's harshest elements.
