On the Way to Klondike
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The print, created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, showcases an illustration originally featured in The Illustrated London News on March 19,1898. In this scene, we witness the progress and determination of Colonel Domville and his team as they approach their destination. Inspector White Pass, the chief of construction for the White Pass Railway, can be seen suggesting improvements while examining the topography and timber along their route. The temporary bridge work and logging wharves indicate the extensive efforts made to overcome challenging terrain. The image captures a pivotal moment as they start their ascent towards Klondike through rock-cutting railways. General Bracket from the United States oversees this ambitious project aimed at connecting Skagway with Klondike's gold-rich region. Every detail in this engraving reflects both historical accuracy and artistic brilliance. It offers a glimpse into an era defined by exploration, adventure, and perseverance against all odds. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Wright's talent but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity when faced with daunting challenges. It is a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress and discovery throughout history.
