EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of HMS Enterprise entering Dolphin and Union Strait in September 1852. The color lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, showcases the grandeur of this expedition led by Richard Collinson. The image takes us back to a time when exploration was at its peak, as Collinson embarked on a mission to search for the lost Franklin expedition. With his crew aboard the majestic HMS Enterprise, they braved treacherous waters and icy conditions in their quest to uncover the fate of John Franklin's ill-fated voyage. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot of history, highlighting not only the ship but also the vastness of Arctic landscapes surrounding it. Towering icebergs loom in the distance, serving as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its unforgiving power. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to an era where navigation relied heavily on human skill rather than modern technology. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in their pursuit of knowledge and discovery. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in maritime history. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and uncertainty, humanity has always pushed boundaries in search of answers - forever driven by curiosity and ambition.
