Solomon Gursky Was Here by Mordecai Richler
Descended from an unknown #FranklinExpedition survivor, Solomon Gursky is a mystery intentionally obscured and a source of obsession for Moses Berger in #MordecaiRichler's 1989 novel, "Solomon Gursky Was Here" from @VikingBooks
“Solomon Gursky” is an unexpectedly weird book, but one I would highly recommend to anyone with a taste for unique Franklin expedition fiction. As a novel, “Solomon Gursky” is part Franklin mystery, part Jewish family drama, and part critique of capitalist dynasty families. A lot of effort has been put into portraying the expedition accurately — Richler cites “Frozen in Time” by Owen Beattie as a…

Reproduction of an 1840s glove recovered from King William Island, belonging to a Franklin Expedition crew member and brought back to England by McClintock’s search party.
Unfortunately the glove no longer survives intact (fragments of a glove that I believe may be the same object is in the collections at Royal Museums Greenwhich), but was sketched for the Illustrated London News in 1854 and reported to be red, white, and blue. In order to reproduce the patterns I looked at historical/traditional Scandinavian and Latvian designs. @historiestickarna ‘s Instagram images from SENĀ KLĒTS were particularly helpful.
This glove came out to be approximately a men’s large in size and was knitted on size US 1.5 needles.

(Although the cute sideswept bangs are a bit more reminiscent of Eleanor Porden), can we all take a moment to appreciate that Ellie IS SO TOTALLY Jane Franklin's Disney twin?? And IMO, the Franklins were a Carl-and-Ellie level cute couple. That is all.

Im Eisland: Band 1, Die Franklin-Expedition
Discover the #FranklinExpedition and brush up on your German skills with @KristinaDraws graphic novel "Im Eisland" from @HinstorffVerlag
Kristina Gehrmann’s “Im Eisland” trilogy has been on my radar for a long time and I’ve owned it for almost as long. It’s the story of the Franklin Expedition and its disappearance in the Arctic in the mind 1800s. If you’re a long time follower, you probably recognize the name as I’ve had at least three reviews on FE related fiction appear on this blog. Due to the mystery of the expedition,…

20th May 1845, British Royal Navy officer and explorer Sir John Franklin commanding HMS Erebus and HMS Terror with 134 men aboard, sail from the River Thames in England to navigate and complete the Northwest Passage. The ships are last seen by Europeans three months later in Baffin Bay, whereupon all trace of the men and the ships disappear. From 1853 searches collected artefacts and testimony from local Inuit, to discover what happened to the men and ships. By 1866 it was known that both ships became ice bound and were abandoned. In the 1980’s, remains were discovered on King William's Island, confirming that the crew died from hypothermia, scurvy, starvation, cannibalism, botulism and lead poisoning from the poorly sealed food tins, or the ship's distilled water system. Inuit reports told later searches that the captain of HMS Terror Francis Crozier, and one other member of the expedition were seen between 1852 and 1858. In 2014 the wreck of HMS Erebus was located, alongside HMS Terror in 2016.

"The summer went, the winter came,—
We could not rule the year;
But summer will melt the ice again,
And open a path to the sunny main,
Whereon our ships shall steer.”
(from: A Ballad of Sir John Franklin, by G.H. Boker)
