EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Building of a house for winter at North Pole, c. 1600" takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in history. Created by the talented engraver Theodor de Bry (1528-98), this image depicts the efforts of Willem Barents (1550-1597) during his travels at the North Pole. Intriguingly, this scene showcases the construction of a house specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of winter in this unforgiving Arctic region. As we observe closely, we can see Barents and his team diligently working together to erect this shelter that will serve as their refuge during these extreme months. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke captures not only the physical labor involved but also provides insight into daily life during the 17th century. From the bateau boat used for transportation to explorateur exploration tools scattered around, each element adds depth and authenticity to this historical representation. As viewers, we are transported back centuries ago and invited to reflect on the bravery and resilience required by those who dared venture into uncharted territories. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we have access to such invaluable pieces that allow us glimpses into our past. Let us cherish these works as they provide windows into worlds long gone while inspiring future generations with tales of adventure and determination.
