EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Trout Fall, 1819" showcases an exquisite engraving by Edward Francis Finden. The artwork is part of a private collection and originates from Franklins Narrative of a journey to the shores of the Polar Sea in the early 19th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time during an exploration expedition to the North Pole. It was created based on a drawing by midshipman Robert Hood, who tragically lost his life during this perilous journey at the hands of a guide in 1821. The scene depicts a serene lake nestled amidst Canada's Northwest Territories, with its tranquil waters reflecting the breathtaking beauty of nature. A small boat gently glides across the water's surface as if navigating through history itself. This engraving holds great historical significance as it documents Sir John Franklin's ambitious quest for mapping and discovery in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. Alongside him stands Admiral Sir George Back, both instrumental figures representing British polar exploration. "The Trout Fall" not only transports us back to this era but also serves as a testament to human determination and curiosity about uncharted territories. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure against all odds. Through Edward Francis Finden's skilled craftsmanship, we are offered an intimate glimpse into this extraordinary chapter in Canadian Arctic history—a visual tribute that continues to inspire awe and admiration for those brave souls who dared to venture into unexplored frontiers.
