EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a dramatic moment during the voyage of the German ships La Germania and La Hansa to the North Pole in 1869-1870. The image depicts the German ship La Hansa caught amidst icy terrain, as its crew frantically unpacks essential objects and provisions before abandoning their vessel. The urgency is palpable as these brave explorers face the harsh reality of their predicament. With unwavering determination, they prepare themselves for an uncertain journey on foot across treacherous ice fields. Their resilience shines through as they confront adversity head-on, refusing to let nature's obstacles deter them from their mission. Engraved after a drawing by J. Moynet, this illustration beautifully captures both the perilous conditions and indomitable spirit of these courageous sailors. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874 and edited by Edouard Charton, this historical document offers us a glimpse into an era marked by audacious exploration and unyielding ambition. Preserved within the Selva Collection, it stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with voyages into uncharted territories. Through Leonard de Selva's expert lens, we are granted access to this extraordinary moment frozen in time – reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure against all odds.
