The U.S. Grinnell expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. A personal narrative
A personal narrative of the 1853 U.S. Grinnell expedition searching for Sir John Franklin, written by American naval surgeon Elisha Kent Kane and published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1854 for a general reader. The three plates are rotated on the page and show Arctic ice and ship scenes, with one tinted wood engraving of an ice mass at sea; a designer could draw on their stark, monochrome polar light and the broken, floating ice forms.
