Winter quarters have long been a symbol of resilience and endurance in the face of harsh conditions. From the Canadian Pacific Railway Survey-Party in the Rocky Mountains Division to Captain Collinson's Arctic Expedition, these engravings depict the challenges faced by explorers and soldiers alike. In February 1864, amidst freezing temperatures, a survey-party found solace at their winter quarters on picket duty. The engraving captures their determination as they navigate through treacherous terrain. March 1876 brings us to another scene - this time with the return of an Arctic Expedition. As they gather thermometers, one can only imagine the relief felt after enduring months of isolation and extreme cold. Moving southward to Virginia in 1866, we witness Winter Quarters in Virginia for the Army of Potomac. This oil on canvas painting portrays soldiers seeking refuge from bitter winters during Civil War times. The North Pole Expedition shows HMS Alert frozen at her winter quarters while exploring uncharted territories. These brave sailors demonstrate unwavering commitment despite being surrounded by icy desolation. HMS Aurora finds its own respite at Quebec's winter quarters depicted in an enchanting engraving. Amidst snow-covered landscapes, it stands as a testament to human adaptability even in unforgiving climates. Winter also holds significance beyond exploration; it marks strategic military positions like General Sir William Lockhart's arrival at Barkai's winter quarters during The Indian Frontier Rising litho print showcases preparations for battle amidst snowy valleys. Skating rinks become unexpected havens during expeditions such as those seen at HMS Discovery's Winter Quarters during The North Pole Expedition engraving—a reminder that even amidst adversity, joy can be found. Dr Nansen and Mr Jackson find themselves immersed in white north landscapes captured beautifully through lithography—an ode to their courage and determination against nature’s harshest elements. Even historical figures sought shelter within winter quarters like Washington and his staff at Valley Forge.
