EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Relics of the Franklin Expedition" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into one of history's most intriguing polar expeditions. The image showcases an array of artifacts that were discovered during the search for Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition in the Arctic. In this print, we see a ship sailing through icy waters, symbolizing the treacherous journey undertaken by Franklin and his crew. A tattered flag flutters atop the mast, reminding us of their unwavering determination. Surrounding the ship are various objects: a book, ice implement, medicine bag, box, spectacles, weapons - all remnants from this tragic voyage. These relics tell stories of survival and struggle in harsh conditions. Among them are snow goggles used to protect against blinding glare and freezing temperatures; a chest containing precious medical supplies; prayer books offering solace amidst adversity; and even personal belongings like rings or vestas. The engraving also highlights international collaboration as it mentions Germany's involvement in this search mission. It is a testament to how exploration transcends borders and unites nations in pursuit of knowledge. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who ventured into uncharted territories. It serves as both a historical record and an homage to those who sought answers amidst unforgiving landscapes.
