EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Arctic Highlanders - Saunders Island Natives" takes us back to the year 1886 in London. The image showcases a group of men standing on the deck of a ship, ready for an extraordinary journey into the unknown. These brave explorers are dressed in traditional native attire, their weathered faces reflecting both determination and curiosity. With their full-length figures captured against the backdrop of the ship's wooden deck, we can almost feel the anticipation radiating from them. The engraving is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Adolphus W Greely's book "Three Years of Arctic Service". Greely served as Expedition Commander aboard Proteus, a steamship that embarked on an expedition to Lady Franklin Bay between 1881 and 1884. As we gaze at this historic print, we are transported to an era when polar exploration was at its peak. It reminds us of the incredible courage displayed by these men as they ventured into harsh conditions in search of new discoveries. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire to explore uncharted territories. It stands as a tribute to those who risked everything for knowledge and adventure during one of history's most remarkable expeditions.
