EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Arctic Sketches" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by an English School artist. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Graphic on December 11,1875. In this scene, we are transported to the Arctic wilderness where a group of dogs led by their human companions has stumbled upon a remarkable sight. As they make their way through the snow-covered landscape, they come across two polar bears and a wolf. The dogs appear alert and cautious while their owners watch intently. The setting is Beechy Island in Canada, known for its rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery. In the background, we can see Franklin's graves as well as a mesmerizing moon rise illuminating the icy surroundings. Amidst this frozen tableau, one cannot help but notice that one of the polar bears lies motionless on the ground - perhaps having met its demise during an encounter with humans or other predators. This somber detail serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its unforgiving harshness. The presence of these animals highlights not only their resilience but also their significance within Canadian culture and history. It showcases how indigenous people relied on hunting for survival while respecting these magnificent creatures. Overall, this enchanting print captures a moment frozen in time - an awe-inspiring glimpse into North America's western hemisphere where humans coexist with wildlife in harmony yet remain ever vigilant against nature's unpredictable forces.
