EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Noon: In Mid-Winter, Port Leopold" takes us back to a moment frozen in time during the Arctic Expedition of Her Majesty's Ships Enterprise and Investigator. Engraved by Charles Haghe and published in 1850, this colour lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of William Henry Browne. The image transports us to the desolate beauty of Port Leopold, where Captain Sir James C. Ross led his expedition in search of Sir John Franklin and his lost ships. The scene is one of eerie tranquility as we witness the harshness of mid-winter in the Arctic. The ships are trapped amidst vast floes and towering icebergs, their rigging entangled with snow-covered masts. As we delve into this piece from the private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of the perils faced by these brave explorers. Despite their valiant efforts, no survivors were found from Franklin's ill-fated expedition. The attention to detail captured by Browne allows us to immerse ourselves in this icy landscape; we can almost feel the bone-chilling cold that permeates every inch of this scene. It is an evocative testament to both human resilience and nature's unforgiving power. This print not only preserves a significant historical event but also stands as a testament to artistic excellence. Its inclusion within Fine Art Finder ensures its accessibility for all who wish to appreciate its profound significance without
