EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Samuel Hearne, an English explorer who fearlessly ventured into the vast wilderness of Canada during the 18th century. In this particular scene, Hearne is depicted embarking on a daring journey to the Arctic under the mesmerizing glow of the northern lights, also known as aurora borealis. The pen-and-ink drawing by C. W. Jefferys beautifully portrays Hearne's expedition in 1770. Clad in a warm parka and hood to combat the bone-chilling cold, he confidently leads his team of dogsleds through a snowy landscape illuminated by the ethereal dance of colors above. Hearne's determination shines through as he navigates with precision using snowshoes while carrying essential supplies such as his musket and rifle for protection against potential dangers lurking in this untamed territory. Accompanied by fellow explorers, these brave men face countless challenges and unknown perils that await them in their quest for discovery. This image not only showcases Hearne's resilience but also highlights his significant contribution to exploration history. His expeditions paved the way for future discoveries and expanded our understanding of Canada's vast northern regions. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Samuel Hearne's indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to unraveling nature's mysteries amidst one of Earth's most awe-inspiring phenomena - the aurora borealis.
