| Zusammenfassung: | George Back accompanied Sir John Franklin's tragic first Arctic land expedition and kept a lively record in prose and watercolor sketches. This is a reprint of the 1994 work which completed the editor's trilogy of the journals of Franklin's officers. Houston provides an introduction and extensive annotations. Arctic Artist is the liveliest and most complete account of Sir John Franklin's tragic first Arctic land expedition. George Back's prose captures the drama of this journey, and his superb water colour sketches reveal the beauty and wonder of this northern land. Back's journal completes Stuart Houston's trilogy of the journals of Franklin's officers, and is particularly valuable because it is the only journal that records the entire expedition; Franklin himself relied on it for his own published account of the journey. Houston provides an introduction and extensive annotations, as well as synopses of the frank comments regarding the expedition recorded in the various journals of the Hudson's Bay fur trade posts. I.S. MacLaren's commentary on Back's paintings reveals a naval officer of exceptional talent. Conversant with the artistic conventions and aesthetic temper of his age, Back used his sketchbooks not only to depict the expedition's progress but also to capture his imaginative response to the northern wilderness. MacLaren also edits and comments on two other documents written by Back during the expedition: a candid letter to his brother and a poem dramatizing the disaster that claimed the lives of eleven of the twenty explorers in Franklin's party |

This is a reprint of the 1994 work which completed the editor's trilogy of the journals of Franklin's officers. Houston provides an introduction and extensive annotations. Arctic Artist is the liveliest and most complete account of Sir John Franklin's tragic first Arctic land expedition. George Back's prose captures the drama of this journey, and his superb water colour sketches reveal the beauty and wonder of this northern land. Back's journal completes Stuart Houston's trilogy of the journals of Franklin's officers, and is particularly valuable because it is the only journal that records the entire expedition; Franklin himself relied on it for his own published account of the journey. Houston provides an introduction and extensive annotations, as well as synopses of the frank comments regarding the expedition recorded in the various journals of the Hudson's Bay fur trade posts. I.S. MacLaren's commentary on Back's paintings reveals a naval officer of exceptional talent. Conversant with the artistic conventions and aesthetic temper of his age, Back used his sketchbooks not only to depict the expedition's progress but also to capture his imaginative response to the northern wilderness. MacLaren also edits and comments on two other documents written by Back during the expedition: a candid letter to his brother and a poem dramatizing the disaster that claimed the lives of eleven of the twenty explorers in Franklin's party Back, George <1796-1878> - Voyages - Arctique ram Back, George <Sir, 1796-1878> - Voyages - Arctique Franklin, John <1786-1847> - Voyages - Arctique ram Franklin, John <Sir, 1786-1847> - Voyages - Arctique Back, George <Sir, 1796-1878> Diaries Franklin, John <Sir, 1786-1847> Franklin, John 1786-1847 (DE-588)118692844 gnd rswk-swf Back, George 1796-1878 (DE-588)119286203 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1819-1822 gnd rswk-swf Arctique dans l'art Explorateurs - Angleterre (GB) - Journaux intimes ram Ontdekkingsreizen gtt Schilderijen gtt Malerei Explorers Great Britain Diaries Expedition (DE-588)4129116-5 gnd rswk-swf Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 gnd rswk-swf Arctique - Découverte et exploration britanniques Arctique - Découverte et exploration britanniques ram Nord-Ouest, Passage du - Découverte et exploration britanniques Passage du Nord-Ouest ram Territoires du Nord-Ouest (Canada) - Descriptions et voyages ram Großbritannien Arctic regions Discovery and exploration British Northwest Passage Northwest Territories Description and travel Arktis (DE-588)4002924-4 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4058900-6 Tagebuch 1819-1822 gnd-content Back, George 1796-1878 (DE-588)119286203 p DE-604 Franklin, John 1786-1847 (DE-588)118692844 p Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Expedition (DE-588)4129116-5 s Arktis (DE-588)4002924-4 g Geschichte 1819-1822 z Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 s Houston, Clarence S.
