1. Lot 91324

Description:: Die Proof Vignette of "Dr. Kane in the Arctic" used on Obsolete Notes. . India paper on wide margin card by Toppan, Carpenter & Co. with imprint. This bone-chilling scene portrays explorers in search of Franklin in the Canadian Arctic. The title of the vignette was described in period accounts (by contemporary Bank Note Reporters like Gwynne & Day) as "Dr. Kane in the Arctic." In 1853, Dr. Elisha Kane led the second Henry Grinnell expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, who had disappeared with his two ships and crew while searching for the Northwest Passage (one of the great mysteries of early nineteenth century exploration). After their ship became icebound, the party trekked north for over 80 days, losing one man before reaching open water and a rescue ship. Kane, who wrote a two-volume work on his two expeditions, died in 1857. In the vignette, the ice party is shown loading their sled with supplies from their dinghy, while a team of tethered huskies waits; the icebound ship Advance is at right in the near background. The scene appears on several rare proofs from the Newman Collection (Newman Part VI: Lots 19126, 19372, 19409, and 19413; and Newman Part VII: Lot 18756). This die proof would match up well with any of those Newman rarities to form an impressive set. Extremely Fine. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (1/2017). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $119.00.
