EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of cultural exchange and artistic expression in the officers quarters during an Arctic expedition in 1835. The image showcases Ikmalick and Apelagliu, two Inuit individuals, engrossed in drawing as they interact with Captain John Ross and his crew. The scene is filled with curiosity, discovery, and collaboration. As explorers on a voyage to find the elusive North-West Passage, Ross and his team relied on the knowledge and assistance of local Inuit communities. This encounter highlights the importance of communication between different cultures during expeditions. The lithograph by J. Brandard beautifully illustrates this unique interaction. It was featured in "Narrative of a second voyage in search of a north-west passage" written by Sir John Ross & James Clark Ross. The detailed map displayed nearby suggests that Ikmalick and Apelagliu were sharing their geographical expertise with the explorers. Inuits have long been known for their intricate artistry, often depicting scenes from their daily lives or mythical tales through drawings. This image serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous people. Preserved within private collections today, this historical photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration meant not only charting new territories but also fostering cross-cultural connections that continue to shape our understanding of the world today.
