EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Franklin Search Expedition. Engraved by William Heysham Overend, this artwork showcases Lieutenant Schwatka showing the Esquimaux (also known as Inuit) the "Illustrated London News". The illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 1,1881. The Franklin Search Expedition was a polar expedition led by John Franklin, and it holds great importance in the exploration of the Arctic region. In this engraving, Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka is seen engaging with the local Inuit people, sharing knowledge and information through printed media. The image beautifully portrays an exchange between different cultures and highlights the significance of communication during these expeditions. It offers a glimpse into how explorers like Schwatka sought to understand and interact with indigenous communities they encountered during their journeys. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and curiosity that drove these early polar expeditions. It serves as a visual testament to their determination to uncover new frontiers while fostering connections with those who had long inhabited these remote regions. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic merit. It invites us to reflect upon our shared human experiences across time and space while celebrating the spirit of exploration that continues to inspire us today.
