From Round About the North Pole (published 1907) by W. J. Gordon with woodcuts and other illustrations by Edward Whymper (1840-1911). This from a letter in Whymper's possession. Info from wiki: Rear Admiral Sir William Edward Parry, RN, FRS (19 December 1790 – 8 or 9 July 1855) was an English rear-admiral and Arctic explorer. His 1819 voyage through the Parry Channel was probably the most successful in the long quest for the Northwest Passage. In 1827 he attempted one of the earliest expeditions to the North Pole. He reached 82°45′ North latitude, setting the record for human exploration farthest North that stood for nearly five decades before being surpassed at 83°20′26″ by Albert Hastings Markham in 1875–1876.
