EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Arctic Fox, captured during Sir John Ross's second voyage in search of a North-West Passage. Engraved by the talented John Brandard, this lithograph beautifully depicts the winter coat of the fox, with its bushy tail and pure white fur blending seamlessly into its snowy surroundings. The Arctic Fox is a true master of camouflage, perfectly adapted to survive in its harsh environment. Its pristine white coat acts as an effective disguise against potential predators and prey alike. This particular specimen appears almost albino-like against the backdrop of the frozen wilderness. As a predator in these unforgiving lands, the Arctic Fox relies on its keen senses and agility to hunt for survival. With piercing eyes fixed on some unseen target, it exudes an air of quiet determination and grace. The image captures not only the beauty but also the resilience of this wild animal. The brush strokes expertly bring out every detail - from each strand of fur to every whisker that adorns its face. Intriguingly depicted within this engraving is also a glimpse into their habitat - perhaps a den hidden beneath layers of snow or nestled amidst rocky crevices. This stunning print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to nature's wonders. It transports us into one man's extraordinary journey through uncharted territories while reminding us that even in seemingly desolate landscapes, life thrives if we take time to observe closely.
