EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating back cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, supplement illustre on 10th August 1913, titled "Deadly Pole" transports us to a treacherous world of polar exploration. This vivid colour lithograph by the French School of the 20th century depicts an unforgiving landscape filled with harsh conditions and perilous danger. In this haunting image, we witness a ship battling against towering icebergs as it navigates through the Arctic Circle. The crew members, clad in heavy coats and waving their caps in distress, are surrounded by death and despair. Corpses lie scattered across the icy terrain while others seek refuge inside tents amidst freezing temperatures. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the extreme risks faced by early explorers who ventured into uncharted territories. It captures both the allure and hostility of maritime expeditions that sought to conquer nature's harshest elements. The Norwegian flag proudly displayed on one of the ship's masts symbolizes national pride intertwined with human resilience. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of awe for those brave sailors who dared to venture into such treacherous waters in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. "Deadly Pole" is not just an illustration; it is a testament to human determination and our relentless quest for exploration. It serves as a somber reminder that even in our modern age, there are still untamed frontiers waiting to be conquered beyond our comfort zones.
