EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of snow goggles dating back to around 1847, made from leather and copper. These historic artifacts were discovered in an abandoned boat at Erebus Bay, King William Island, by the McClintock Search Expedition in May 1859. Believed to be part of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition of 1845-48, these goggles are a tangible link to one of the most infamous Arctic exploration missions.
Roughly crafted with wire gauze screens over the eyes, these goggles would have been essential for protecting against the blinding glare of sun on snow during treacherous Arctic conditions. The remnants of string used to tie them securely in place hint at their practical design for use in extreme environments.
As relics from a bygone era of exploration and adventure, these snow goggles offer a glimpse into the challenges faced by early explorers seeking new frontiers in the frozen wilderness. Their presence evokes tales of bravery and hardship endured by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories in search of knowledge and discovery. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring spirit of curiosity and resilience against nature's harshest elements.
