EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the encampment of Franklin's expedition at Point Turnagain in 1821. The print, created by George Back and engraved by Edward Francis Finden, offers a glimpse into the arduous journey undertaken by Sir John Franklin and his crew as they sought to explore the uncharted Polar Sea. Set against a picturesque backdrop of rugged coastline and crashing waves, the campsite is depicted with meticulous detail. Tents dotting the beach serve as temporary shelters for weary explorers who have braved treacherous conditions in their quest for discovery. The atmosphere is one of both determination and uncertainty, as reflected in the decision made by officers to turn back due to dwindling supplies and challenges finding suitable winter shelter. This image not only showcases the bravery and resilience of these early polar explorers but also highlights their significant contributions to mapping and understanding this remote region. It serves as a reminder of the immense hardships faced by those who ventured into uncharted territories, laying the groundwork for future expeditions seeking passage through Canada's Northwest Territories. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in exploration history - an enduring testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote corners.
