EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Clearing a path for an ice-bound ship" takes us back to the 16th century and immerses us in the daring voyages of Dutch explorer and navigator Willem Barentsz. Published around 1600, this illustration is part of a collection called The Three Voyages of William Barents to the Arctic Regions, written by Gerrit de Veer, one of Barentsz's crew members. In this particular scene, we witness the third voyage led by Barentsz in 1596. The ship finds itself trapped amidst icy waters as it ventures into uncharted territories near the North Pole. Determined not to succumb to nature's grip, the crew valiantly works together to clear a path through the treacherous ice. The image captures both the danger and excitement that accompanied these early explorations. With their vessel surrounded by towering walls of ice and snow-covered landscapes stretching endlessly before them, they face uncertainty at every turn. Yet their unwavering spirit pushes them forward as they navigate through this frozen labyrinth. As we gaze upon this print from centuries past, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity about distant lands and our willingness to brave even the harshest conditions in search of new horizons.
