EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by William Edward Atkins that offers a glimpse into the challenging world of polar exploration in the 19th century. The print showcases an array of essential equipment and tools necessary for survival in the harsh Arctic environment. In this detailed illustration, we see various ships navigating treacherous icy waters as they make their way uphill towards their destination. A boat and sledges are depicted alongside roads covered with snow, highlighting the arduous journey ahead. The explorers are shown wearing cork-soled boots and moccasins for better traction on slippery surfaces. They also don chamois-lined Welsh woollen wigs to protect themselves from extreme cold. The engraving further reveals crucial apparatus such as eye preservers (goggles) available both in open and closed designs to shield against blinding glare from ice and snow. A pitched tent with a seal screen provides shelter during rest periods while a portable canvas canoe made from seal skin offers transportation across frozen waterways. Notably, French explorers feature prominently in this artwork, emphasizing France's involvement in polar expeditions during that era. Leather goods like sou'westers (waterproof hats) and mitts crafted from sealskin were popular choices for protection against freezing temperatures. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness required for successful Arctic exploration during this time period. It highlights both the challenges faced by these intrepid adventurers and the innovative solutions they devised to overcome them.
