EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Ross, a remarkable British polar explorer and naval officer who lived from 1800 to 1862. Known for his courageous expeditions, Ross embarked on numerous journeys in search of uncharted territories. In 1818, he led an expedition with the primary objective of discovering the elusive northwest passage—a treacherous route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Arctic Archipelago. Throughout his career, Ross collaborated closely with William Parry, another renowned explorer. Together, they ventured into the Arctic region between 1819 and 1827 on multiple occasions. Undeterred by the harsh conditions and dangers that awaited them, these intrepid explorers pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of these remote lands. Ross's thirst for exploration was insatiable; he led an Arctic expedition from 1829 to 1833 and even undertook a daring Antarctic journey from 1839 to 1843. However, one of his most significant contributions came in 1850 when he spearheaded an expedition dedicated to finding Sir John Franklin—an esteemed explorer who had gone missing while searching for the Northwest Passage. This exquisite engraving captures not only Ross's stoic determination but also pays homage to his invaluable role in expanding human knowledge about Earth's polar regions. It serves as a testament to his unwavering spirit of adventure that propelled him forward despite facing unimaginable challenges along the way.
