EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Franklin's Expedition First Detained by the Ice, 1826" takes us back to a moment of great historical significance. Created by George Back in the early 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the harrowing journey undertaken by Sir John Franklin and his crew. The scene depicts Franklin's expedition ship trapped amidst vast sheets of ice in 1826. The chilling atmosphere is palpable as the vessel battles against nature's icy grip. The artist masterfully captures the immense scale and power of the frozen landscape, evoking a sense of isolation and vulnerability. This engraving was inspired by midshipman artist George Back's drawing and later engraved by Edward Francis Finden for publication in Franklin's Narrative of a Second Expedition to the Shores of the Polar Sea. Published in 1828, this work aimed to document their treacherous voyage through uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this historic artwork today, it serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for discovery and exploration. It pays homage to those brave individuals who risked their lives venturing into unknown realms in search of knowledge and adventure. Preserved within private collections, this print allows us to connect with an important chapter in maritime history while appreciating both Back's artistic skill and Finden’s meticulous craftsmanship. Let it serve as an enduring testament to human resilience when faced with nature’s formidable forces.
