EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Knut Fraenkel, a distinguished Swedish engineer and arctic explorer. The image was captured in 1931, allowing us to glimpse into the life of this remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on history. Fraenkel's legacy is intertwined with one of the most ill-fated expeditions of the 19th century. In 1897, he joined Salomon August Andrees' Arctic hydrogen balloon expedition as one of its three members. This daring endeavor aimed to reach the North Pole using a hydrogen-filled balloon. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and none of them survived. In this portrait, we see Fraenkel's determined face framed by a well-groomed mustache that exudes confidence and resilience. His occupation as an engineer is evident through his thoughtful expression and poised demeanor. It serves as a reminder of his unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring uncharted territories. As we delve into this monochrome photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the spirit of adventure that fueled explorers like Knut Fraenkel during the late 19th century. Through their bravery and relentless pursuit for knowledge, these men paved the way for future generations to unravel nature's mysteries. The print collector has preserved this invaluable piece of history for us to appreciate today—an homage to both Knut Fraenkel's contribution as an engineer and his tragic role in Andrees' ill-fated expedition. Let us remember these courageous individuals
