This antique image depicts Fridtjof Nansen at Cape Flora during his Arctic polar exploration in 1898. The photograph captures Johansen in a moment of intense focus and determination, providing a glimpse into the harsh conditions and challenges faced by early polar explorers.

We found this amongst a cache of paper ephemera — antique cartoons, pictures, portraits, maps and other images — pulled from publications from the year 1898. Wear commensurate to age. Edge may be uneven. You get what you see :)
