This print captures the momentous discovery of North America by A. E. Nordenskjold, an extraordinary Finnish-Swedish explorer and geologist. Taken during his arctic expedition from 1878 to 1880, this image showcases Nordenskjold's remarkable achievement in uncovering new frontiers. Published in 1891 as part of the renowned Liebig Company series of Dutch collectible cards featuring famous explorers, this engraving beautifully portrays the adventurous spirit that defined the 19th century. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship make it a true work of art. In this scene, we see Nordenskjold standing proudly amidst a breathtaking Arctic landscape. Clad in rugged attire suitable for extreme conditions, he exudes determination and resilience. The snow-covered terrain and icy waters surrounding him serve as reminders of the challenges faced by early explorers like him. Nordenskjold's groundbreaking journey not only expanded our knowledge of North America but also contributed significantly to geological research. As a baron with expertise in mineralogy, his findings shed light on the region's unique geological formations and resources.
