EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of resilience and adventure in the face of adversity. After their ship was abandoned, the crew of La Hansa found themselves on a drifting ice floe, known as a "derive glacon". In this frozen wilderness, illuminated by the mesmerizing aurora borealis, they built a makeshift camp to survive. The engraving beautifully depicts the scene with intricate detail and precision. The drawing by J. Moynet brings to life the harsh yet awe-inspiring environment that these brave sailors encountered during their voyage to the North Pole in 1869-1870 under Captain Hegemann's leadership. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874, this image is part of an extraordinary collection curated by EDouard Charton and published by Hachette in Paris. It offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of humanity's enduring spirit when faced with extreme challenges. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry, showcasing not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly captures every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind this engraving. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the determination and resourcefulness exhibited by those aboard La Hansa. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for exploration even amidst treacherous conditions.
