This print showcases Lieutenant W. H. May, a distinguished sailor of the 19th century. Published in The Illustrated London News on June 5,1875, this engraving immortalizes the brave lieutenant who served aboard the renowned H. M. S. Alert during an Arctic exploration expedition from 1874 to 1876. Lieutenant William Henry May (1849-1930) went on to achieve great heights in his naval career and eventually became Admiral of the Fleet. This portrait captures him in all his Victorian splendor, exuding strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. The artist skillfully brings out every detail of Lieutenant May's bust sculpture, emphasizing his noble features and capturing his unwavering spirit as he ventured into uncharted territories. This artwork is a testament to both May's personal courage and the era's fascination with Arctic exploration. Displayed against a neutral backdrop, this image highlights not only Lieutenant W. H. May but also serves as a reminder of the countless sailors who embarked on perilous journeys for discovery and knowledge. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history—a time when men like Lieutenant W. H. May fearlessly sailed through treacherous waters in search of new horizons—an enduring tribute to their bravery and dedication that continues to inspire us today.
