EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ill-fated expedition to explore the North Pole led by Salomon - Auguste Andree, a renowned Swedish engineer. In this 19th-century image, we see Andree standing at the center, surrounded by the brave men who accompanied him on this perilous journey. Little did they know that their fate would be sealed shortly after setting out on July 11,1897, aboard a balloon. The photograph holds historical significance as it represents one of humanity's relentless pursuits for discovery and adventure in uncharted territories. Tragically, a few days into their expedition, all contact was lost except for a carrier pigeon message received later. This poignant missive became their last trace until their remains were discovered an astonishing 33 years later east of Spitsbergen. The image is taken from "La Navigation Aerienne" by J Lecornu and provides us with an artistic portrayal of these courageous explorers against the backdrop of Arctic landscapes. The vertical composition adds depth and emphasizes the vastness of the North Pole region they sought to conquer. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of human resilience but also our insatiable curiosity to push boundaries and unravel mysteries that lie beyond our reach. It serves as a poignant reminder that exploration comes with great risks but leaves an indelible mark on history for generations to come.
