English: First Communication with the Natives of Prince Regents Bay, as Drawn by Iohn Sackheouse, and Presented to Capt Ross, Augt 10 1818. Isabella and Alexandra An illustration (p.88) from ‘A voyage of Discovery in His Majesty’s Ships Isabella and Alexander for the purpose of Baffins Bay and enquiring into the probability of a N W Passage’ by John Ross.
In the foreground on the right are two admirals attempting to communicate with the indigenous people of Prince Regents Bay; the latter, likely Inuits, are accompanied by sleighs pulled by wolves. In the mid-ground on the left are two ships depicted in starboard quarter view; Isabella is shown at right, anchored to the land, and the Alexander shown on her left. A ship’s boat can be seen on land beside a figure. Two smaller Inuits are in the distance nearby. A mountainous landscape dominates the background.
Some damage on the image, probably fragments of an overlapping text page adhering to the surface. |
