EDITORS COMMENTS
Across Greenland (litho) captures the breathtaking journey of exploration in the polar regions. This lithograph, created by Andreas Bloch in 1891, showcases the daring expedition led by Fridtjof Nansen through the vast and treacherous landscapes of Greenland. In this print, we witness a steep descent as Nansen's team navigates their way down from the icy peaks. The sailors stand ready on their vessel, braving the harsh elements that surround them. A dense forest looms in the background, contrasting with the barrenness of Greenland's inland ice. As evening approaches, a tent is set up to provide shelter for weary explorers. Inside, they gather around a warm soup pot to replenish their strength after a long day's journey. The sense of camaraderie and determination is palpable within this scene. Bloch's meticulous engraving skillfully conveys both the beauty and challenges faced during this historic expedition. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our unyielding desire to explore new frontiers. This remarkable lithograph transports us back in time to an era when intrepid adventurers like Nansen pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of remote corners of our planet. It stands as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always room for discovery and triumph.
