EDITORS COMMENTS
The New Eddystone, in Bhems Canal, 1798" is a captivating watercolor print by William Alexander that transports viewers back to the late 18th century. The artwork was created as part of Alexander's illustrations for George Vancouver's "A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean" showcasing scenes from their expedition. In this particular drawing, we are presented with a stunning view of Behm Canal in Alaska. A protruding rock covered with lush foliage dominates the foreground, creating a sense of grandeur and natural beauty. Native Americans and British explorers approach in separate canoes, highlighting the cultural encounters that took place during this era of exploration. The presence of men standing on a sandbar adds depth and perspective to the composition while emphasizing human activity within this remote landscape. It is evident that rowing played an essential role in transportation during this time period, as boats were crucial means of conveyance across vast bodies of water. Through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail, Alexander captures not only the physical features but also the spirit and essence of this Alaskan wilderness. This artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document, providing us with a glimpse into early interactions between different cultures amidst breathtaking scenery. "The New Eddystone" invites us to reflect upon our own connection with nature and how it has shaped our history. It reminds us that even in uncharted territories like Alaska centuries ago, humans sought adventure while forging new paths through exploration.
