The Coppermine Expedition (1823)

The Coppermine Expedition of 1819–1822 had as its goal the exploration of the northern coast of Canada, which was accessed by way of the Coppermine River. The British expedition was organised by the Royal Navy as part of its attempt to discover and map the Northwest Passage. It was the first of three Arctic expeditions to be led by John Franklin, and also included George Back and John Richardson, both of whom would become significant Arctic explorers in their own right.

The map "A chart of the discoveries & route of the Northern Land Expedition, under the command of captain Franklin" was printed in London by J. Walker in 1823.
