EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Situation of HM Ships Fury and Hecla, at Igloolik, 1822-23,1824" takes us on a journey back to the early 19th century. The print showcases the remarkable landscape of Igloolik in Canada's Arctic region. Created by Captain G. F. Lyon and engraved by Edward Finden for William Edward Parry's 'Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-west Passage, ' this proof plate offers an intriguing glimpse into an era of exploration and adventure. The image depicts two majestic ships, HM Ships Fury and Hecla, amidst vast ice fields and floes that stretch as far as the eye can see. The coastline is rugged yet breathtakingly beautiful, with its rocky shores meeting the frigid waters of the sea. As we delve deeper into this scene, we are transported to a time when intrepid explorers sought passage through these treacherous northern waters in search of new routes. The black-and-white composition adds a sense of drama and mystery to this historic moment frozen in time. It reminds us not only of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery but also highlights the resilience and adaptability required to navigate such harsh environments. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, we are reminded that it is through endeavors like these that our understanding of distant lands expands while honoring those who braved unknown territories centuries ago.
