EDITORS COMMENTS
In this line engraving from the 16th century, we witness the indomitable spirit of Willem Barents and his men as they construct a wooden house for over-wintering during their last voyage. The image transports us back to a time of exploration and discovery, where brave souls like Barents embarked on perilous journeys into uncharted territories. The scene is filled with activity and determination. Barents stands at the forefront, overseeing the construction with an air of authority. His weathered face reflects years of experience navigating treacherous Arctic waters. Surrounding him are his loyal crew members, working tirelessly to erect a shelter that will protect them from the harsh elements during their winter stay. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of these courageous explorers. We can almost feel the biting cold wind against our skin as we observe their efforts. The wooden beams seem to come alive under skilled hands, forming a sturdy structure that will serve as both refuge and home for these adventurers. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in the face of adversity.

As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of our own capacity for exploration and discovery – whether it be through physical expeditions or intellectual pursuits.
