Titled "Rescue of two children from a floating ice floe, 1831" this colour lithograph by Paul Hardy depicts an extraordinary adventure that unfolded on the cold waters. In this scene, we witness the chilling sight of two young children adrift on a floating ice floe, fast asleep and unaware of their perilous situation. The image is filled with tension as rescuers clad in oilskins and sou'westers approach in a small boat, driven by courage and determination to save these innocent souls.

The rescuers navigate through treacherous waters to reach the unconscious children who are completely vulnerable amidst their deep slumber. This artwork not only celebrates acts of heroism but also reminds us of the power of human compassion. It speaks volumes about our innate desire to protect one another even when faced with daunting challenges.
