Sir John FRANKLIN. OSBORN, Sherard and George F. McDOUGALL (editors). Facsimile of the Illustrated Arctic News, Published on Board H.M.S. Resolute: Captn. Horatio T. Austin, C.B. in Search of the Expedition under Sir John Franklin. London: Ackermann & Co., 15th March 1852. 2o (470 x 290 mm). Lithographed throughout. Title-page with hand-colored vignette, numerous illustrations, some hand-colored, one full-page and printed in colors, a second half-page and printed in colours, most after McDougall. FIRST EDITION. The Resolute under the command of Captain Horatio Austin and the Assistance under Erasmus Ommanney were despatched to search for Sir John Franklin in February 1850. Public interest in and concern for the fate of Sir John's expedition was at its height and, as the illustration on p. 13 of this work shows, by the middle of August there were at least eight vessels in the Arctic. The "newspaper" was produced (in acknowledged imitation of the Illustrated London News) by Osborne and McDougall with contributions from various other generally pseudonymous sources. The text gives a first hand insight into the life of the expedition: the daily routine, eye-witness accounts of the finding of the first evidence of Franklin's Erebus and Terror expedition and their various entertainments. All are amply illustrated with accompanying vignettes. |
