Sailing Ship at the North Cape under the Midnight Sun, 1825 Engraving

An engraved view shows a three-masted sailing ship on dark water at right, its sails filled, beside tall jagged rock cliffs at left. A bright sun sits low above a cloud-streaked horizon, its rays fanning out over the sea. The caption reads 'View of the North Cape, with the Sun Shining at Midnight.'
