31 March 1854: The bureaucratic death of the Franklin Expedition

"Officers and ships Company are to be considered as having died in the Service & their wages are to be paid to their Relatives to 31 March 1854"

[HMS Erebus muster, The National Archives]

I've been wanting to do a full-crew Endurance illustration for a long time, and finally the gang's all here! 28 men, dogs and cat all accounted for, with every crew member referencing either a photo of them or a story about them. It's a little over two years since I first read Lansing's Endurance and I couldn't be happier to still be researching and drawing these guys :)

Coming up, Harris is starring with Idris Elba in an untitled White House thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), and playing Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik, a film dramatising the Reykjavik summit of 1986, where the Soviet leader and the American president Ronald Reagan had historic talks that led to an arms control treaty… Did he have the famous Gorbachev birthmark? “Oh yes. You’ve got to go the whole way with that. It’s a very famous face.” x
