by Kane, Elisha (1820-57) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Second Grinnell Expedition of 1853 was an American effort, financed by Henry Grinnell, to determine the fate of the Franklins lost expedition. Led by Dr. Elisha Kane, the team explored areas northwest of Greenland, now called Grinnell Land. While failing to determine the fate of Sir John Franklin, the expedition set a new record for northward penetration, delineated 960 mi (1, 540 km) of unexplored coastline north of 82A latitude, and discovered the long-sought open Polar Sea. Kane collected valuable geographical, climate and magnetic observations before abandoning the brig Advance to the pack ice in 1855. While three members of the crew were lost, the epic journey of the survivors inspired the public as a vivid tale of Arctic survival.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Look out from Cape George Russell" takes us back to the year 1856, during The Second Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin. Illustrated by Elisha Kane and now part of a private collection, this engraving offers a glimpse into an extraordinary American effort to uncover the fate of Franklin's lost expedition. Led by Dr. Elisha Kane, the team embarked on a courageous journey exploring uncharted territories northwest of Greenland, known today as Grinnell Land. Although they were unable to determine what happened to Sir John Franklin, their expedition achieved remarkable milestones. They set a new record for northward penetration and discovered the long-awaited open Polar Sea. Kane's illustrations not only showcase breathtaking landscapes but also serve as valuable geographical references. Through this image, we witness the crew members standing at Cape George Russell, peering out into the vast unknown with determination and curiosity etched upon their faces. The hardships faced during this arduous journey cannot be overlooked either; three members of the crew were tragically lost along the way. However, their survival against all odds became an inspiration for many and captured public imagination as a vivid tale of Arctic resilience. As we gaze upon this historic print from The Stapleton Collection via Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and exploration even in unforgiving environments like the Arctic wilderness.
