Franklin, Sir John. Key plate for the Baxter Print "Sir John Franklin's Search Party".
Franklin, Sir John. Key plate for the Baxter Print "Sir John Franklin's Search Party". The ships depicted are the "Enterprise" and the "Investigator", commanded by Sir John Ross. The print was published by Baxter ca. 1850 in colour, & would usually be issued with the Baxter embossed stamp in the margin below. Baxter patented a process of printing in oil colours. 8 3/8" x 6 1/2", printed in dark blue-green ink, very faintly foxed, an old fold mark in the top margin, otherwise good. This is the key plate for the Baxter print which was eventually published, which is essentially a proof plate. It is unsigned, without lettering, and is rare. Sir John Franklin had a varied & far flung career - in 1800, he accompanied Matthew Flinders on the "Investigator" [the first ship to circumnavigate Australia]; he fought in the battle of Trafalgar on the "Bellerophon"; he fought in actions near New Orleans in late 1814-early 1815. His first arctic exploration was in 1818 as commander of the "Trent"; in 1819, made another expedition under Capt. Ross & Lt. Parry. In 1825, he made another expedition to find a route to the Arctic Ocean by way of the Mackenzie River. In 1837, he took the post of Governor of Tasmania, which he held for 6 years. In 1845, he started his last, fateful journey to the Arctic.
