After Icebergs with a Painter: A Summer Voyage to Labrador and around Newfoundland

Frederic Edwin Church, an internationally renowned American artist of fame and fortune at the very peak of his powers, and Louis Legrand Noble, a lauded writer with a sharp eye for revealing and humorous detail, made a journey in 1859 fraught with danger and drama aboard the schooner Integrity to the latitudes where icebergs dwell. The results was one of the masterpieces of American art—Frederic Edwin Church’s The Icebergs (1861). It was also the inspiration for an important work of literature recounting their exciting journey, offering fascinating insight into an artistic career like no other, a career that has continued to inspire subsequent generations. This extensively illustrated new edition brings this important, long-out-of-print book to 21st-century audiences and expands upon the original 1861 edition by including an introductory essay by artist Frederic Church scholar William L. Coleman, the first detailed map of the journey, and the vast majority of the images inspired by this epic trip to the Arctic that Church created over a long and productive career.
