EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View from Morgans Rocks in Hill River, 1819" takes us back to a momentous era of exploration and discovery. Created by Edward Francis Finden, this print is based on a drawing by midshipman Robert Hood during Sir John Franklin's expedition to the shores of the Polar Sea. The scene depicted in the engraving showcases the breathtaking beauty of Manitoba, which was then part of the Northwest Territories. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when indigenous cultures thrived alongside untouched natural landscapes. Intriguingly, this artwork also offers insights into early mapping efforts and attempts to find the elusive Northwest Passage. The presence of boats – both sailboats and kayaks – hints at the challenges faced by explorers as they navigated these uncharted waters. Notably, this image captures not only nature's grandeur but also highlights interactions with native communities. Native Americans can be seen peacefully coexisting with European explorers against a backdrop teeming with waterfowl like geese. As we admire this historical print today, let us appreciate its significance in documenting an important chapter in polar exploration history. It serves as a reminder that curiosity and bravery have always driven humanity forward on our quest for knowledge about our world's most remote corners.
