EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Arctic exploration. The image showcases the remains of two members from Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition, which set sail in 1845 to search for the elusive North West Passage. Led by British naval officer and renowned arctic explorer, Sir John Franklin, the expedition aimed to navigate through uncharted waters. Tragically, all members of this daring voyage perished during their quest. However, hope was reignited when Francis Leopold McClintock commanded the Franklin Search Expedition in 1857 aboard his ship named Fox. It was under his leadership that these haunting remnants were discovered. The engraving featured here is an illustration from Le Voleur magazine dated May 4th, 1877. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who sought to unravel nature's mysteries and push the boundaries of human knowledge. Sir John Franklin's legacy lives on as one of bravery and determination in pursuit of scientific discovery. His name will forever be associated with both triumphs and tragedies that unfolded amidst icy landscapes and treacherous seas. This photograph print not only commemorates those lost souls but also pays homage to the unwavering spirit of exploration that continues to inspire adventurers today.
