EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'The Last Voyage of Henry Hudson,' is a depiction of an historic event that took place in the early 17th century. The painting was created by John Collier and was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1882. The subject of the painting is Henry Hudson, a renowned navigator known for his explorations of the New World. In the year 1610, Hudson embarked on his final voyage, this time in search of the Northwest Passage through the Polar Seas. However, the summer of 1611 brought about a tragic turn of events. Dissatisfied with their lack of progress and supplies, Hudson's crew staged a mutiny. They set Hudson and his son, John Hudson, along with some of the most ill members of the crew, adrift in an open boat with minimal provisions. The trio was never seen or heard from again, marking the end of Henry Hudson's illustrious career and leaving a mystery that has intrigued historians for centuries. This engraving is an important historical document, providing a visual representation of the last known moments of Henry Hudson and his crew. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers and uncertainties that accompanied early explorations and the human desire to push the boundaries of the known world. The haunting image of the three figures in the open boat, surrounded by the vast, unforgiving expanse of the polar seas, is a powerful testament to the courage and determination of those who dared to explore the unknown.
