EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable phenomenon in the sky, always appearing opposite the sun. The ethereal beauty of this celestial display is juxtaposed with the rugged grandeur of The Devils Thumb, creating a breathtaking scene that leaves viewers in awe. Beneath the majestic sky and towering peak lies a frozen landscape where ships are seen boring and warping through the pack ice. This image offers a glimpse into an Arctic expedition led by Captain Sir James C. Ross aboard Her Majesty's Ships Enterprise and Investigator. Engraved by Charles Haghe in 1850, this color lithograph showcases William Henry Browne's artistic talent in capturing both natural wonders and human endeavor. It serves as a testament to Sir James Clark Ross' arduous journey to search for Sir John Franklin, whose ships had vanished during an expedition to find the North West Passage. The detail captured within this print transports us back to that fateful period when more than 40 parties were dispatched on rescue missions. Despite their valiant efforts, no survivors were found from Franklin's ill-fated voyage. In this image, we witness ships bound by ice as they navigate treacherous waters surrounded by floes. Sails billow against icy winds while crews pull, free, haul - determined to break free from their icy prison. This extraordinary artwork from Fine Art Finder not only depicts historical events but also evokes emotions of wonderment and admiration for those who ventured into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
