EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the travel suit worn by Lieutenant Payer and Lieutenant Weyprecht during their remarkable odyssey aboard the Tegetthoff in 1872-1874. The image, an engraving based on a drawing by Rious, was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876. Lieutenant Payer and Lieutenant Weyprecht's travel suit is a testament to their determination to conquer the harsh elements they encountered. The suit consists of several layers of clothing designed to combat snow squalls, ensuring they remained warm and protected throughout their journey. Additionally, a retractable leather jacket shielded their faces from frostbite, while boots and mittens made of veil and flannel provided further insulation against the extreme cold. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this ensemble. Even heavy glasses were included as part of the outfit, emphasizing the importance of clear vision amidst treacherous conditions. This print offers us a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by these intrepid explorers. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, human ingenuity can prevail. Displayed within Leonard de Selva's collection, this image captures not only historical significance but also artistic beauty. Its inclusion among fine art prints allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its role in commemorating extraordinary feats accomplished by individuals like Lieutenant Payer and Lieutenant Weyprecht.
