EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "North Hendon, Snow Cottages of the Boothians" takes us on a journey to the remote Arctic village captured in Sir John Ross's Narrative of a Second Voyage in Search of a North-West Passage. Engraved by William Say, this lithograph beautifully portrays the ethereal beauty and isolation of this polar settlement. The image transports us to an arctic winter night, where snow blankets the landscape as far as the eye can see. The dark sky above is adorned with twinkling stars, adding an otherworldly charm to the scene. In this frozen wilderness, we catch a glimpse of traditional snow cottages known as igloos that dot the horizon. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing composition, we are reminded of the indigenous people who call this village home. The mention of Eskimos evokes thoughts of their rich cultural heritage and resilience in surviving such harsh conditions. Capturing both the natural splendor and human presence within these snowy surroundings, this engraving offers a window into a world few have experienced firsthand. It serves as a testament to Captain Ross's exploration efforts and his documentation of these remote regions during his voyage. Displayed within private collections today, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in understanding our planet's diverse landscapes and cultures.
