EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Passage Through the Ice, June 1818" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases sailing ships bravely navigating through treacherous icebergs in the Arctic Circle. Created by an unknown artist and published in Sir John Ross's book "Voyage of discovery in H. M. Ships Isabella and Alexander" this illustration captures the essence of exploration and adventure. The scene is filled with drama as dark storm clouds loom overhead, reflecting the harsh conditions faced by these British explorers during their expedition. The icy waters surrounding them emphasize both the beauty and danger of this remote landscape. Transportation plays a crucial role here, as these ships were vital for discovering new territories and searching for a North-West Passage. This print transports us to a time when England was at the forefront of polar exploration, pushing boundaries and expanding geographical knowledge. The vivid colors used in this aquatint add depth to the image, making it come alive despite being created over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and highlights the courage exhibited by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories. This print from Heritage Images offers us not only a glimpse into an important historical event but also invites us to appreciate mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
