EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a moment frozen in time during the Arctic Land Expedition to the Mouth of the Great Fish River. The image, engraved by Edward Finden and published in 1836, depicts a portage in Hoarfrost River. The scene is filled with rugged beauty as we witness George Back's quest for Sir John Ross, who had vanished since embarking on his search for the elusive North-West Passage. Against a backdrop of majestic mountains and an unforgiving landscape, Canadian explorers navigate their way through treacherous waters. In this snapshot of history, we see men laboring together to overcome nature's obstacles. A canoe is lifted high above their heads as they traverse a steep hillside with unwavering determination. Their faces etched with rigour and resilience tell tales of endurance amidst harsh conditions. This photograph not only captures the spirit of exploration but also serves as a testament to human strength and perseverance. It symbolizes the indomitable will that drives individuals to conquer uncharted territories, even in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from George Back's expedition, we are reminded of Canada's vast wilderness and its role as both muse and challenge for those daring enough to venture into its depths. This image stands as a tribute to all explorers who have sought knowledge beyond familiar horizons while leaving an indelible mark on our understanding of our world's natural wonders.
