During this period Portugal on the cusp of the War of the Two Brothers. In 1826, Peter IV of Portugal abdicated his thrown in favor of his seven year old daughter Maria da Gloria, on the condition that she marry her uncle (Peter's brother) Miguel. Miguel deposed Maria and proclaimed himself King, which led to the Liberal Wars, and eventually resulted in Miguel being forced to abdicate and go into exile, and Maria II being proclaimed Queen. During this same period, in Spain, the death of Ferdinand VII also saw his daughter, Isabella II, an infant at the time, proclaimed Queen. This would also lead to the First Carlist War in Spain from 1833-1839. This map was published by A. Arrowsmith, hydrographer to His Majesty, in 1828. References: Rumsey 0028.011. (1812 edition).

An intricate map of the waters and islands of Nunavut in northeastern Canada, near Greenland, tracing the lost 'Franklin Expediton'. It was produced by John Arrowsmith in 1859 for Captain Francis McClintock's The Voyage of the 'Fox' in the Arctic Seas: A Narrative of the discovery of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions . A Closer Look Covering the northern portion of Nunavut, from Bathurst Island to Baffin's Bay in the north, and in the south from the border region between Nunavut and the Northwest Territories to Southampton Island, this map tracks the supposed route of the lost expedition of Sir John Franklin (1845 - 1848) as well as the route of McClintock's voyage a decade later. At top-right is an inset of Bellot Strait, which McClintock attempted to explore but decided against out of safety concerns. Islands, points, mountains, rivers, and other features are noted throughout. Context McClintock's expedition took place in 1857. By this time, the Admiralty and the wider British public knew of the sad fate of Franklin's Expedition from several earlier relief expeditions, especially John Rae's 1853 - 1854 voyage. However, Rae's methods and conclusion were not widely accepted, in part because his Inuit informants suggested that the survivors of Franklin's crew had engaged in cannibalism before themselves starving to death. Thus, McClintock was dispatched with a small crew on a private voyage financed by Franklin's widow, Lady Jane Franklin, on July 1, 1857, to seek out evidence of the expedition's fate. Like Rea, McClintock benefitted greatly from information provided by the Inuit, who were able to direct them to a cairn, inside which was a message providing basic information on the desertion of Franklin's icebound ships and some of the subsequent difficulties encountered, including the death of Franklin himself. Though preceded by Rae, McClintock provided greater detail, especially on Franklin's own relatively early death, and was considered the true discoverer of the expedition's fate. Hailed as heroes, McClintock was knighted and his men rewarded for their efforts. Publication History and Census This map was compiled by John Arrowsmith for Francis McClintock's The Voyage of the 'Fox' in the Arctic Seas: A Narrative of the discovery of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions . First published in 1859 by John Murray in London, the present map appeared in the first American edition, published in 1860 by Ticknor and Fields in Boston. The present map from the American edition is only independently cataloged by the Library and Archives Canada, while the map as it appeared in the first British edition is held by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, the University of Michigan, Cornell University, and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. In either case, McClintock's entire work is more widely distributed in academic institutions. References: OCLC 1007201173.
