EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous encounter during The American Franklin Search Expedition. In the engraving, we witness the meeting between the expedition members and the Netshillik Eskimos under the mesmerizing midnight sun. The image, based on a sketch by Mr. H. W. Klutschak on June 1st, 1879, offers a glimpse into this historic Arctic exploration mission. Published in the Illustrated London News on January 15th, 1881, it showcases the bravery and determination of these men who embarked on a perilous journey to find their lost compatriots. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when expeditions were filled with uncertainty and danger at every turn. The faces of both explorers and Netshillik Eskimos reveal curiosity and intrigue as they come face-to-face for perhaps the first time. The presence of indigenous people adds depth to this narrative; their knowledge of survival in such harsh conditions must have been invaluable to those seeking answers about Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit for discovery and our ability to forge connections even amidst vast cultural differences. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire to explore uncharted territories regardless of personal sacrifice or hardship endured along the way.
