 The Voyage of the Icebergs: Frederic Edwin Church's Arctic Masterpiece

Hayes, who had sailed with the late Dr. Elisha Kent Kane on his second search for Franklin in 1853, was an amateur artist himself, as well as a pioneer photographer, and brought back sketches and paintings from his voyages which were to exercise a powerful influence on Church.
Hayes then met Church through the American Geographical and Statistical Society, of which both were members; on one occasion, they attended a lecture from Dr. John Rae, discoverer of the first definite signs of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition.
