EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fort Conger, Frinnell Land, May 20,1883" takes us back to a momentous expedition in the Arctic. Created by Steeple Davis and published in London in 1886, this print captures the essence of adventure and exploration. The image showcases the arrival of a team at Fort Conger, their base for the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition from 1881 to 1884. Led by Adolphus W Greely aboard the steamship Proteus, these brave explorers embarked on an arduous journey towards the North Pole. In this scene, we witness their triumphant arrival at Fort Conger along Frinnell Land's coastal region. The Victorian-era travelers stand against a backdrop of icy terrain and rugged coastline. The frozen sea stretches out before them as they prepare to navigate its treacherous waters. With meticulous detail and skillful craftsmanship, Steeple Davis transports us back in time to experience this historic moment firsthand. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of awe and admiration for those who dared to venture into uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote corners.
