EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the departure of Andree, Strindberg, and Fraenkel on their daring flight to reach the North Pole in 1897. The trio is depicted just half an hour after lift-off from Spitzbergen, filled with hope and determination as they embark on this adventurous journey. The image transports us back to July 11th, 1897, when these brave explorers set out on their historic expedition. The balloon that will carry them towards the elusive North Pole looms large in the background, symbolizing both their mode of transport and their lofty aspirations. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the courage and spirit of adventure displayed by Andree and his companions. Their departure marks the beginning of a perilous yet thrilling odyssey into uncharted territory, where every moment is fraught with uncertainty and excitement. Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just a scene from history but a sense of anticipation and possibility that still resonates today. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and exploration - qualities that continue to drive us forward into new frontiers.
