Expedition depicts Walton’s ship crossing the treacherous waters of the arctic. The ship is also symbolic of Victor, who like Walton, seeks knowledge at all costs. Surrounding the boat are a sea of eyes that gaze injured and reproachful. Throughout the novel, sight oppresses the Creature, as it is through sight that his difference is revealed and he is shunned. The watchful eyes serve as a judgment against Victor, who despite all of his knowledge is blind to the consequences of his actions. A red boat indicates rage and madness against unsettled waters. 

With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.

Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
