Been researching into the history of Mesmerism and spiritualism for my diss and came across this article from 1850 which details some revelations a clairvoyant had about the Franklin Expedition.
The text is very long and small but essentially she is claiming that by 1850, Franklin and at least thirteen other men were alive and claimed they were living off of fish and wild fowls. She also claims that Franklin will “first be heard of at a place called The Cape”. Though this wasn’t true I do think it’s really interesting what theories were being thrown about at the time.
Mostly towards the end of the article there are wildly racist assertions being made about the Inuit people, but this can also be seen throughout.
I do think it’s quite interesting that no mention is made of Terror and all of the questions put to the clairvoyant are about Erebus. I get that this is because Franklin was obviously considered the most important but it’s wild to me to see how blatant they were about it.
Anyway I thought it was interesting and wanted to share :)

Just wanted to post the cutest thing in my Cheburashka collection, it’s a little postcard I keep on my dressing table.
The front is cute as it is “let there always be mama,” but I bought it for the adorable drawing on the back!!
Painted some flowers for my friend!!
I’ve been reading some of the Franklin Expedition letters today and just wanted to share some of my favourite parts.
Crozier calls his sister Charlotte “small” in all his letters to her:
Fitzjames’s drawing of Prince Albert (and Jane Franklin’s copy of it)
Goodsir’s father’s advice to him before he sails out (don’t sleep too much)
And I wanted to finish with a letter from Sarah Hartnell to her sons in 1847:
Not sure if this has been posted before but I just wanted to share :) Apologies for the shadows over some of the pictures!!
