EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as British naval officer Edward Belcher leads an expedition in search of the missing Arctic explorer, John Franklin. The year is 1852, and the image showcases three vessels sailing through treacherous icy waters. From left to right, we see the Assistance under Commodore Belcher's command, followed by the North Star led by Captain Pullen, and finally the Resolute captained by Captain Kellett. The illustration beautifully depicts the determination and bravery of these explorers as they venture into uncharted territories. The vastness of the sea surrounds them, emphasizing both its beauty and danger. One can almost feel the chill in the air as rowing boats accompany their larger ships on this daring quest. The composition highlights a sense of unity among these adventurers who have embarked on this perilous journey together. Their medium-sized group stands strong against nature's challenges while symbolizing human resilience and curiosity for exploration. We owe gratitude to Weedon for capturing this historical moment with such precision and detail. This photograph serves as a reminder of mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge even in extreme conditions. It immortalizes those who risked everything to uncover new frontiers, honoring their legacy for generations to come.
