EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Sir John Tenniel captures the anticipation and excitement of an Arctic expedition in search of the North Pole. Titled "Waiting to be Won," the image depicts HM ships Alert and Discovery setting sail on their daring journey on May 29th.
Tenniel's satirical drawing is filled with humor and detail, showcasing his talent for capturing both the grandeur and absurdity of such expeditions. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this moment from history.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak, with brave adventurers risking it all in pursuit of discovery. The sense of anticipation is palpable as we imagine the crew eagerly awaiting what lies ahead on their quest for the elusive North Pole.
This piece from Punch magazine reminds us of the power of art to capture not just moments in time, but also emotions and aspirations. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is still so much left to explore and uncover.
