EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the ill-fated Andree expedition of 1897, which aimed to reach the elusive North Pole by balloon. Led by Salomon August Andree, this daring exploration ultimately ended in tragedy as all members of the expedition perished. It wasn't until 1930 that Andree's body was discovered. In this poignant image from Le Petit Journal, Paris, dated September 4th, 1898, we witness a solemn scene aboard the whaler Thistle. The captain is being shown one of the carrier pigeons that Andree had taken with him on his ill-fated journey. These brave birds were intended to carry messages back home and provide updates on their progress. The photograph offers a glimpse into the immense challenges faced by these early explorers and highlights their unwavering determination to conquer uncharted territories. The vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter and serve as a reminder of both hope and loss. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their meticulous reproduction process. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of discovery even in the face of great adversity.
