EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1896, during the Western Franz Josef Land exploration by the Jackson-Harmsworth Expedition. The map depicted in this image showcases their remarkable findings up until the end of Spring that year. Led by Frederick George Jackson, this three-year expedition shattered preconceived notions about Franz Josef Land's geography. Prior to this journey, it was widely believed that Franz Josef Land was an expansive landmass extending all the way to the North Pole. However, as revealed by Jackson and his team, it turned out to be a small archipelago instead. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized our understanding of this remote Arctic region. The photograph is extracted from "A Thousand Days in the Arctic". Volume II authored by Frederick G. Jackson and published in London in 1899. Its vibrant colors bring life to a piece of history frozen in time – a testament to British exploration during the Victorian era. With its intricate details and meticulous cartography, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact showcasing early 19th-century map-making techniques. It symbolizes not only Russia-Britain collaboration but also highlights how scientific expeditions pushed boundaries and expanded human knowledge. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when intrepid explorers embarked on daring quests for discovery amidst harsh polar conditions.
