EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph captures the majestic His Majesty's Discovery Ships Fury and Hecla in all their glory. Painted by artist and engraver Arthur Parsey and printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, this piece showcases the two ships that played a crucial role in Parry's attempt to discover a Northwest passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1824 and 1825.
The 'Fury' stands proudly on the left side of the print, while the 'Hecla' is depicted on the right, both sailing through rough seas with determination and grace. The intricate details of each ship, from their masts to their sails, are beautifully highlighted in vibrant colors that bring them to life.
As symbols of exploration and adventure, these ships represent not only a historic moment but also a spirit of curiosity and bravery that drove sailors to venture into unknown territories. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when maritime expeditions were at the forefront of discovery.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich seafaring history and its contributions to global exploration. It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in pursuit of knowledge beyond borders.
