EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of English navigator Henry Hudson (1550-1611) during his final voyage. In this haunting engraving, we see a resolute man standing on the deck of his ship, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea. The lines etched into his face tell tales of countless adventures and hardships endured in pursuit of new horizons. Accompanied by his son and seven others, Hudson was tragically abandoned at sea by a mutinous crew, never to be seen again. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by early explorers who dared to venture into uncharted territories. The portrait portrays not only an intrepid explorer but also a devoted father. As he gazes out towards an uncertain future, one can sense both determination and concern for his young son's well-being. It is through such familial bonds that we glimpse the human side behind these daring expeditions. Created by renowned artist John Collier after an original picture, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Henry Hudson's legacy - a pioneer whose fate remains shrouded in mystery. With its monochromatic tones and intricate details, it invites us to contemplate both the triumphs and tragedies that accompany great feats of navigation. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Hudson's courage but also our own insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our known world – forever inspired by those who dare to explore it.
