Elisha Kent Kane and his companions in Greenland, c1855 (c1880)

Elisha Kent Kane and his companions in Greenland, c1855 (c1880). Kane served as senior medical officer on the Grinnell Arctic Expedition of 1850-1851, which searched unsuccessfully for the missing British expedition of Sir John Franklin. In 1853 he organised his own expedition. Although again he failed to find Franklin, Kane explored and mapped part of Greenland, reaching further north than any other explorer done previously. In May 1855 his party was forced to abandon their ship, but successfully completed an 83 day trek to safety, losing only one member in the process. A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the indomitable spirit of Elisha Kent Kane and his companions during their expedition in Greenland around 1855. Elisha Kent Kane, a senior medical officer on the Grinnell Arctic Expedition, embarked on a courageous journey to search for the missing British expedition led by Sir John Franklin. Although unsuccessful in finding Franklin's team, Kane's determination led him to explore and map parts of Greenland that no other explorer had ventured before. The photograph showcases the harsh conditions they faced, with men dressed in heavy parkas huddled around a fire for warmth. In this image, we see one man diligently cooking over an open flame while others gather nearby. Their faces reveal both exhaustion and resilience as they endure the hardships of Arctic exploration. The presence of sled dogs further emphasizes their reliance on these loyal animals for transportation across treacherous terrain. The engraving evokes a sense of adventure and discovery as it transports us back to a time when brave individuals pushed boundaries in pursuit of knowledge and new frontiers. This historical snapshot serves as a testament to human endurance amidst unforgiving environments. Preserved through time, this print from Cassells History of the United States allows us to appreciate the courage exhibited by Elisha Kent Kane and his comrades while shedding light on their significant contributions to exploration in Greenland during the 19th century.
