EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in the historic Expedition to search for the North West Passage in 1880. Led by the renowned British naval officer and arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin, this expedition aimed to navigate a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Arctic archipelago of Canada.
The scene depicted in this print shows Francis Leopold McClintock receiving proof that Franklin and his party had tragically perished during their quest. McClintock is shown purchasing relics such as silver spoons, medals, and buttons from the Inuits, highlighting the cultural exchange that took place during these expeditions.
The image is filled with intricate details, from the group of men and women dressed in warm clothing braving the cold winter conditions to the traditional igloo structures in the background. The artist Edwin Hodder skillfully captures both the harsh beauty of the Arctic landscape and the determination of these explorers on their mission.
This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of both the bravery and sacrifice involved in early exploration efforts to uncover new frontiers. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and resilience in face of adversity.
