EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Vale of the Clearwater River from the Methye Portage, 1828" takes us back in time to an expedition that unfolded nearly two centuries ago. Created by George Back, a talented midshipman artist, this print offers a glimpse into the untamed beauty of nature as seen through his skilled eyes. The scene depicted showcases the breathtaking Vale of the Clearwater River, located along the Methye Portage. The viewer is transported to a serene and untouched landscape where lush greenery stretches as far as the eye can see. Towering trees line both sides of the riverbank, their reflections dancing gracefully upon its crystal-clear waters. The tranquility exuded by this image is palpable; one can almost hear the gentle rustling of leaves and feel a cool breeze brushing against their skin. Originally published in 1828 as part of Franklins Narrative of a second expedition to the shores of the Polar Sea, this engraving captures not only nature's grandeur but also serves as a testament to human exploration and curiosity during that era. Edward Francis Finden skillfully translated Back's drawing onto paper using delicate lines and intricate details. As we admire this historical artwork today, we are reminded of our connection with past adventurers who dared to venture into uncharted territories for knowledge and discovery. This print stands as an enduring tribute to their courage while offering us an opportunity to appreciate nature's timeless allure through artistry and imagination.
