EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable phenomenon in the sky, always found opposite the sun. The ethereal display of colors and patterns creates an otherworldly atmosphere that is truly awe-inspiring. Paired with this celestial spectacle is a view of The Devils Thumb, a majestic natural formation that stands tall and proud amidst the frozen landscape. In the lower half of the image, ships can be seen navigating through treacherous icy waters. They are depicted in various stages of their arctic journey - boring through thick ice, warping to maneuver around obstacles, and ultimately becoming trapped within the pack. This scene serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by explorers during expeditions to uncharted territories. Engraved by Charles Haghe and published in 1850, this color lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and conveying a sense of grandeur. It belongs to a series titled "Ten Coloured Views taken during the Arctic Expedition" which documents Her Majesty's Ships Enterprise and Investigator under Captain Sir James C. Ross. Sir James Clark Ross led this expedition in search of Sir John Franklin's lost ships that vanished while attempting to find the North West Passage in 1845. Although no survivors were found during Ross' mission, his efforts were part of more than 40 expeditions sent out on this quest. This extraordinary artwork from Fine Art Finder offers us glimpses into both nature's wonders and humanity's relentless pursuit for discovery against all odds.
