EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Manner of holding the line, when a walrus is struck" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into an adventurous expedition. The print showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Edward Francis Finden, who skillfully brings to life Captain G. F. Lyon's drawing from William Edward Parry's 'Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-west Passage. ' The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to the vast wilderness of North America, specifically Canada. A group of intrepid hunters, likely Inuit or Eskimo natives, are engaged in an exhilarating walrus hunt. With their deep connection to nature and expert knowledge passed down through generations, these indigenous people showcase their mastery over hunting techniques. The composition captures a pivotal moment as one hunter strikes his target with precision while others hold onto lines attached to harpoons. Their strength and unity are evident as they work together seamlessly amidst freezing waters and treacherous conditions. This engraving not only celebrates the bravery and resourcefulness of native peoples but also highlights their crucial role in exploration during this era. It serves as a testament to their resilience and adaptability within harsh environments. As we admire this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection at Newberry Library in Chicago, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within such images – stories that deserve recognition for shaping our understanding of both past expeditions and indigenous communities across North America.
