EDITORS COMMENTS
The Erebus, a symbol of resilience and exploration, braves the treacherous chain of icebergs on its historic journey through the Southern and Antarctic regions. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - 13th March, 1842 - from Captain Sir James Clark Ross' renowned 'Voyage of Discovery and Research. ' The engraving showcases the sheer magnitude of this daring expedition as it navigates through towering walls of ice amidst a stormy sea. Led by the intrepid explorer Sir James Clark Ross, the Ross Expedition (1839-1842) was an audacious quest for knowledge and discovery in uncharted territories. The Erebus, one of two ships that embarked on this perilous voyage, becomes an emblematic figure against nature's formidable backdrop. Its presence evokes both awe-inspiring wonderment and apprehension. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an unknown English artist from the 19th century, we are transported back to a time when mankind's thirst for knowledge knew no bounds. It serves as a reminder that human curiosity can conquer even the harshest conditions imaginable. This historical artifact is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible to us all through Bridgeman Images. Let it inspire us to embrace our own spirit of adventure and push beyond our limits in pursuit of new horizons.
