EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the momentous arrival of Lt Adolphous Greeley at the North Pole. Led by this intrepid explorer, a team of arctic adventurers embarked on an extraordinary expedition from 1881 to 1883. The image, captured in a late 19th or early 20th-century trade card, offers a glimpse into their remarkable journey. In this scene, we witness the stark contrast between the frozen wilderness and the bustling activity surrounding Lt Adolphous Greeley's arrival. The ship and boats stand as symbols of transportation and exploration, while hunters donning fur coats brave the unforgiving cold to assist with various tasks. A Quaker Junior Range stove provides much-needed heat for cooking amidst these icy conditions. Eskimos and craftsmen are seen engaging in their respective trades, highlighting both cultural exchange and survival skills necessary in this harsh environment. Wildlife also plays a significant role in this narrative; black bears roam freely alongside other animals that inhabit these polar regions. The print not only captures Lt Adolphous Greeley's triumphant arrival but also serves as an educational tool illustrating modes of transport, clothing choices for extreme weather conditions, gastronomy techniques adapted to Arctic life, and craftsmanship required for survival. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's Barbara Loe Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Lt Adolphous Greeley's groundbreaking achievement at one of Earth's most remote locations - the North Pole.
