EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jackson-Harmsworth Polar Expedition, Return of the "Windward" (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in the history of polar exploration. This remarkable print, created by William Heysham Overend and now part of a private collection, depicts the triumphant return of the ship "Windward" after an arduous expedition to Franz Josef Land. The engraving showcases the bustling headquarters set up on board the ship, with crew members unloading supplies and equipment from sledges. The bear corner is prominently displayed, showcasing one of the many encounters with wildlife during their journey. Notably, fresh meat hangs from hooks nearby - a testament to their successful hunt for sustenance amidst harsh conditions. The scene also offers glimpses into various locations visited during this historic expedition. From Cape Gertrude's imposing glacier slopes to Cape Flora's rugged beauty, each place holds its own significance in this tale of exploration. Mr. Jackson's first depots at Elmwood are highlighted as well, serving as crucial supply points along their treacherous route. The larder brims with provisions gathered throughout their journey – a testament to meticulous planning and resourcefulness. This engraving not only commemorates an extraordinary feat but also serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure in even the most inhospitable corners of our planet.
