Framed Print of The American Franklin Search Expedition - the first frost: building a snow house, 1881. Creator: W. I. Mosses
The American Franklin Search Expedition - the first frost: building a snow house, 1881. Some remaining Illustrations, from the Sketches by Mr. H. W. Klutschak, the Bohemian artist, who accompanied the expedition of 1878, 1879, and 1880, sent out by the New York Geographical Society in search of relics and monuments of the ill-fated Arctic exploring party commanded by Sir John Franklin in 1847, appear in this Number of our Journal...The American party...travelled with several dog-sledges, for the conveyance of their needful stores, accompanied by a numerous band of Netchillik Esquimaux, and passed two winters in that dreary region...[We give an] Illustration of the method of building a snow house, for which the blocks of congealed snow are very neatly shaped and trimmed with a large knife. They are built up, with skilful masonry, into a compact beehive structure, proof against the storms of an Arctic winter, and strong enough to bear the super-incumbent weight of snowdrifts upon its domed roof, through a residence of five or six months in that inclement region'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
