EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Admiral Keppel, Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, bidding Farewell to the Arctic Ships off the Eddystone" we are transported back to the 19th century and witness a poignant moment in maritime history. The scene captures Admiral Keppel, a distinguished figure of authority, standing on the shores of Plymouth as he bids farewell to a fleet of Arctic ships. The image exudes a sense of adventure and anticipation as these vessels prepare for their perilous journey into uncharted territories. The icy waters and towering icebergs in the background serve as reminders of the challenges that lie ahead for these brave explorers embarking on polar expeditions. As Admiral Keppel assumes his role as commander, his presence radiates strength and determination. His farewell gesture signifies not only his responsibility for their safe return but also his unwavering support for their noble quest. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1875, capturing public fascination with exploration during that era. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of British involvement in Arctic expeditions. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring curiosity and relentless pursuit to conquer unknown frontiers.
