EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the use of carrier pigeons during the renowned Franklin expedition. The image transports us to a time when brave explorers embarked on daring journeys to uncover uncharted territories. In their quest to find Sir John Franklin, who had gone missing while searching for the Northwest Passage, these intrepid adventurers turned to carrier pigeons as a means of communication and hope. The engraving depicts a group of men carefully releasing these feathered messengers into the vast wilderness. With their wings spread wide and eyes fixed on distant horizons, these loyal birds symbolize both determination and resilience.
