EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the dramatic moment of Franklin's expedition landing in a treacherous storm in 1821. The image, created by George Back and engraved by Edward Francis Finden, offers a glimpse into the harrowing journey to the shores of the Polar Sea. The scene is filled with tension as dark clouds loom overhead, casting an ominous shadow over the brave explorers. The crashing waves and fierce winds convey the unforgiving nature of their surroundings. Despite these formidable conditions, Franklin's team remains resolute, determined to push forward on their quest for discovery. The print serves as a testament to both human resilience and our insatiable thirst for knowledge. It reminds us of the incredible sacrifices made by early explorers who ventured into uncharted territories in search of answers about our planet. Published in 1823 as part of Franklin's Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea, this engraving not only showcases Back's artistic talent but also provides historical insight into one of history's most renowned expeditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand both the beauty and brutality that awaited those who dared to venture beyond familiar horizons.
