EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in the Arctic expedition led by Sir John Franklin in 1880. The image shows George Back bidding farewell to Franklin as he sets out from 'Fort Enterprise' on a daring mission to bring much-needed supplies to the team. Clad in warm clothing and equipped with sledges, these brave men faced the harsh conditions of the Arctic winter with unwavering determination.
The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and camaraderie as Back embarks on his perilous journey, knowing that every mile brings him closer to reuniting with his fellow explorers. The detailed engravings beautifully depict the icy landscape and rugged architecture of Fort Enterprise, adding depth and realism to this historical moment.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era of intrepid exploration and discovery. The dedication and bravery of these men serve as a reminder of the human spirit's capacity for endurance and resilience in the face of adversity.
This engraving from "Heroes of Britain" by Edwin Hodder is not just a work of art but also a testament to the indomitable courage displayed by Franklin's Arctic expedition team. It stands as a tribute to their extraordinary feats and enduring legacy in the annals of history.
