EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of Samuel Hearne, an English explorer who fearlessly ventured into the Canadian Arctic in 1770. The image showcases Hearne's arduous journey under the mesmerizing glow of the northern lights, also known as aurora borealis. Drawn with intricate pen-and-ink by C. W. Jefferys, this artwork transports us back to a time when exploration was fueled by curiosity and resilience. In this scene, we witness Hearne braving the harsh cold as he leads his men through snow-covered landscapes on a dogsled. Clad in a parka and hood to shield himself from biting winds, he walks confidently with a musket slung over his shoulder and a rifle at hand - ready for any encounter that may arise in these uncharted territories. The ethereal beauty of the aurora borealis illuminates their path, casting an otherworldly glow upon their expedition. It serves as both a reminder of nature's awe-inspiring wonders and a testament to Hearne's unwavering determination to explore lands unknown. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an homage to Samuel Hearne's legacy as one of history's great explorers. It invites us to reflect on our own capacity for discovery and reminds us that there are still frontiers waiting to be explored - both within ourselves and in the world around us.
