EDITORS COMMENTS
This photogravure showcases Richard Collinson, the esteemed expedition leader of the HMS Enterprise in 1876. The photograph, taken by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, captures Collinson's commanding presence as he stands tall in his naval uniform. Collinson is known for leading a significant expedition between 1850 and 1855 to search for the lost Franklin expedition, which aimed to discover the elusive Northwest Passage. This daring mission was fraught with challenges and dangers that tested both his leadership skills and determination. In this portrait, Collinson holds a telescope firmly in his hand, symbolizing his role as an explorer who navigated uncharted territories with precision and curiosity. His stern expression reflects the seriousness of his responsibilities as an officer in the Royal Navy during Victorian times. The image offers a glimpse into Collinson's character - resolute, courageous, and driven by a thirst for discovery. It serves as a testament to all explorers who ventured into unexplored lands in pursuit of knowledge and adventure. Preserved within private collections today, this historic print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Collinson's contribution but also pays homage to all those who dedicated their lives to unraveling mysteries hidden within our vast world.
