Description

Perilous situation of H.M.S.V. Intrepid in Baffins Bay - August 2. 1851. Christie's, September 23, 2004, London

May, an amateur artist who illustrated numerous Arctic subjects, was mate on HMS Resolute on the Franklin Search Expedition of 1850-51 (for which see note to the preceding lot). The ships had been frozen in the ice from September 1850 and were finally released on 8 August 1851. May's sketches depict the Intrepid in the throes of the thawing ice, a few days before her release.

The author died in 1859, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
