Geo. Back. [facsimile signature.]
Painted by G.R.Lewis. Day & Haghe Lith.rs to the Queen.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Lithograph. Printed area 370 x 250mm (14½ x 9¾"). Wear to margins.
Sir George Back (1796-1878), British naval officer and explorer of Arctic America. He twice accompanied John Franklin to Canada's Northwest Territories (1819-22 and 1825-7) and later conducted two expeditions of his own to the same region. The first of these expeditions, in 1833, was to search for another British explorer, John Ross, who had disappeared on an Arctic voyage in 1829. In 1836, promoted to Captain and given command of HMS Terror, he returned to explore the coastal region east from the mouth of the river. Having been caught in the ice and striking an iceberg he nursed the sinking 'Terror' across the Atlantic, having to beach the ship on the coast of Ireland. Ill-health forced him to retire from active service, but he advised the Admiralty during the search for Franklin, and was promoted to vice-admiral in 1863 and admiral in 1876.
