[Encamping for the Night.]
[Lithographed by Joseph Needham after Walter William May.]
[London: Day & Son, 1855.]
Lithograph with original hand colour. Sheet 175 x 285mm (7 x 11¼"). Trimmed to image and laid on card,
A sledge party set up camp in a snow-covered, barren wasteland, from Walter William May's 'Series of Fourteen Sketches Made During the Voyage up Wellington Channel in Search of Sir John Franklin'. Sir Edward Belcher led five ships to the Arctic in the largest and last naval search for Sir John Franklin and the crews of the 'Erebus' and 'Terror', missing from an earlier expedition seeking the Northwest Passage. Four out of the five vessels were abandoned in pack ice, for which Belcher was court-martialled, but acquitted. Although they were unable to find Franklin they rescued the crew of HMS Investigator, which had become stuck during an earlier rescue expedition under the command of Robert McClure.
