The print showcases a remarkable scene captured by Captain G. F. Lyon during William Edward Parry's second voyage for the discovery of a Northwest Passage. In this image, we witness an Inuk man clad in a traditional bird-skin jacket as he carefully carries his sturdy canoe towards the glistening waters. His determined expression reveals both strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of exploration that characterized this era.
