EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "A Serious Mishap on the Journey, the Sledge breaking through the Ice near Cape Cecil Harmsworth" we are transported to a treacherous moment during a polar expedition. The print, created by William Small after an original artwork, beautifully captures the intensity and danger of this harrowing incident. The scene unfolds near Cape Cecil Harmsworth as a group of explorers finds themselves in grave peril. The sledge they rely on for transportation has broken through the fragile ice, threatening their journey and provisions. Mr. Jackson, depicted with determination etched across his face, desperately struggles to save their sinking equipment while others rush to set up a tent for shelter. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every crack in the ice and expression on each explorer's face tells its own story. We can almost feel the biting cold air and hear the cracking sound of ice beneath our feet as we witness this life-or-death situation unfold before us. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on September 11th, 1897, adding further historical significance to its artistic value. It serves as a reminder of both human resilience and vulnerability when faced with nature's unforgiving forces. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the bravery and determination exhibited by those who dared to explore uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and adventure. It stands as a testament to mankind's relentless spirit even in moments where survival hangs by a thread
