EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aurora in the Polar Basin; A days sport in the Polar Sea, 1875" takes us back to the mysterious Arctic landscape of the 19th century. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases a mesmerizing natural phenomenon known as Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In this stunning scene, we witness the enchanting dance of vibrant lights illuminating the night sky above a vast icy sea. The ethereal glow of the auroras creates a breathtaking contrast against the dark backdrop, casting an otherworldly ambiance over this remote location within the Arctic Circle. The photograph's historical significance is further enhanced by its inclusion in Henry Walter Bates' Illustrated Travels publication from Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. This collaboration between publisher and creator brings together artistry and exploration to transport viewers into uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, it sparks curiosity about those who ventured into these extreme conditions for work or occupation during that era. It serves as a reminder of both human resilience and nature's ability to captivate our imagination with its unusual beauty.
