EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of the Arctic Sea from the mouth of the Copper Mine River at midnight, 1821" offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty and harshness of the Arctic landscape. The artist, George Back, was both a midshipman and an accomplished artist who accompanied Sir John Franklin on his polar expedition. The image depicts a serene scene in which the viewer is transported to a remote encampment situated on the shores of Coronation Gulf. It is midnight, yet daylight still bathes this part of Canada's Northwest Territories due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle. In this ethereal light, we witness an extraordinary view: vast stretches of icy sea extending towards the horizon. The Union Jack flag flutters proudly atop one of several tents that form part of Hudson Bay Company's expedition camp. This momentous journey aimed to map and discover new territories while searching for potential routes through what would later become known as the Northwest Passage. Back's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only nature's grandeur but also humanity's resilience in such unforgiving conditions. The print serves as a testament to exploration and adventure during this era when brave individuals ventured into uncharted territory in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. Now preserved within private collections, this engraving continues to inspire wonder and fascination with its portrayal of an untamed frontier that has captivated explorers throughout history.
