This portrait captures him in all his Victorian splendor, exuding strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. The artist skillfully brings out every detail of Lieutenant May's bust sculpture, emphasizing his noble features and capturing his unwavering spirit as he ventured into uncharted territories. This artwork is a testament to both May's personal courage and the era's fascination with Arctic exploration. Displayed against a neutral backdrop, this image highlights not only Lieutenant W. H. May but also serves as a reminder of the countless sailors who embarked on perilous journeys for discovery and knowledge. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history—a time when men like Lieutenant W. H.
