EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - Franklin's expedition hunting on Marten Lake in 1820. The image, created by Edward Francis Finden, offers a glimpse into the arduous journey undertaken by Sir John Franklin and his crew as they explored the uncharted territories of the Polar Sea. The scene depicts members of the expedition engaging in a hunt, showcasing their resourcefulness and survival skills amidst the harsh Arctic environment. Led by midshipman Robert Hood, who tragically lost his life to an accidental shooting in 1821, these brave explorers navigated treacherous waters and encountered native communities along their way. The print not only showcases the hunters' pursuit of caribou and waterfowl but also highlights their interactions with indigenous peoples. It serves as a testament to both exploration and cultural exchange during this era of discovery. Published as part of Franklin's Narrative of a journey to the shores of the Polar Sea in 1823, this engraving provides valuable insights into early mapping efforts and attempts to find the elusive Northwest Passage. It stands as a reminder of Franklin's pioneering spirit and his significant contributions to polar exploration. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, we are transported back to that fateful moment on Marten Lake - witnessing bravery, adventure, and humanity intertwine against an awe-inspiring backdrop.
