EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving by John Arrowsmith captures the vast and rugged beauty of the Arctic shores of America, from Baffin Bay to Cape Bathurst. The intricate details on this map showcase the coasts and rivers explored by British expeditions between 1818 and 1859 in search of Sir John Franklin.
The tracks of the 'Fox' and the 'Terror', as well as notes on ice thickness and the fate of the Franklin expedition, are all meticulously documented on this historical piece. Inset sketches provide a closer look at Bellot Strait by Captain Allen Young and Beechey Island, adding layers of depth to this already fascinating map.
As you study each detail on this print, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era of exploration and discovery in one of Earth's most remote regions. The colors used bring life to the icy landscapes depicted, making it easy to imagine what these brave officers must have encountered during their journeys.
This engraving is not just a map; it's a window into a pivotal period in history when intrepid explorers pushed boundaries and ventured into unknown territories. It serves as a reminder of both the challenges faced by those who dared to explore these harsh environments and the enduring spirit of discovery that drives humanity forward.
