Lieutenant DeLong's Last Journey Across Siberia Here are the last of the crew of the ill-fated 'Jeannette;' a wooden sailing vessel built for the American Navy for cartographers traveling through the still unexplored iceberg-filled Arctic Seas. On June 12, 1881, 'The Jeannette' was crushed like a bug between two massive icebergs, and the crew escaped across the Siberian wasteland on foot. USN Lieutenant DeLong and his men unloaded provisions and equipment from the ruined vessel and took off on foot across the Siberian ice pack and the ship sank the following morning. Needless to say, these poor guys didn't get very far. This outstanding wood engraving measures 6" x 8" and 7" x 10" overall.' The Jeannette'' would be absolutely fabulous framed. It's in lovely and fresh condition with the usual even tanning and finger smudges one usually finds in 130 year-old paper. Matted and framed and displayed as a grouping, these fascinating natural history book prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photo are to show how this might look when it's framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)
