EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Travelling among hummocks of ice" takes us back to a daring expedition in the early 19th century. The image captures the relentless struggle faced by explorers as they navigate treacherous icy terrain in their dinghy, amidst adverse weather conditions. The landscape is both awe-inspiring and daunting, with towering ice formations creating a maze-like obstacle course for the team. With sheer determination and teamwork, these brave individuals pull together to overcome the challenges that nature throws at them. The boats are seen towing one another, showcasing the spirit of cooperation and unity necessary for survival in such harsh conditions. Each member plays an integral role in hauling and struggling against the elements, exemplifying true resilience. As stormy seascape surrounds them, it becomes evident just how dangerous this journey must have been. Yet, undeterred by freezing temperatures and unpredictable storms, these explorers push forward towards their goal - discovering a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In this remarkable scene captured by William Edward Parry's journal engraving skillfully executed by Edward Francis Finden, we witness both human vulnerability and strength against Mother Nature's might. This image serves as a testament to mankind's unyielding desire for exploration and discovery even in seemingly insurmountable circumstances. From this print emerges an inspiring tale of courage amidst adversity - reminding us that sometimes our greatest achievements come from pushing beyond our limits while working together towards a common purpose.
