EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in history, "The Fete of Sir John Franklin". Created by the English School in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a grand celebration held to honor the legendary explorer and his polar expeditions. The image transports us back to October 1854 when The Illustrated London News published this illustration. It depicts an elaborate scene filled with Lieutenant Bellot, monuments, relics, and explorers who were part of the famous Franklin Expedition. The monument pillar stands tall as a symbol of remembrance for their courageous endeavors. Every detail in this artwork tells a story - from the articles of plate displayed proudly on tables adorned with crests to Beechey Island where some members of the expedition met their tragic fate. The atmosphere is alive with festivity as people gather to pay tribute to Sir John Franklin's memory. Notably present is Dr. Rae, another renowned explorer who played a significant role in uncovering crucial information about Franklin's ill-fated journey. This engraving serves as a reminder not only of bravery but also collaboration among these pioneers. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical gem through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that exploration knows no bounds and that these brave individuals paved the way for future adventurers seeking knowledge beyond familiar horizons.
