Faces I've put to some of the Hard Enough Left characters.

A young Alain Delon as Jesse Hudson

A young Robert Redford as Henry Hudson

Tom Hanks (His look from Saving Mr. Banks) as Edward Piston

And I've never been able to pin point anyone else...

The Last Voyage of Henry Hudson (1881) by John Collier depicts the abandoned explorer Henry Hudson with his son, cast adrift by their crew. The expression and positioning of Hudson mirrors that of Joshua Reynolds's Count Ugolino in his painting Count Ugolino and his Children in the Dungeon (1773), alluding to the myth that Hudson subcummed to cannibalism, eating his sons, as Ugolino had in the dungeon - in the words of Dante, that is.

"Then fasting got / The mastery of grief"

On This Day in New York City History January 6, 1938: New York City's only statue commemorating explorer Henry Hudson is dedicated at the park bearing his name in the Borough of the Bronx.

Located in the neighborhood of Sputen Duyvil, Henry Hudson Park overlooks the body of water where Hudson's ship The Halve Maen (Half Moon) docked before his voyage to find the Northwest Passage.

The idea for the statue came about in 1906 to commemorate the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. The festivities would celebrate 300th anniversary of the arrival of Henry Hudson to New York Harbor and the 100th anniversary of the first voyage of Robert Fulton's North River Steamboat. Budget issues would delay the statue (and the bridge named for Henry Hudson) until 1938.

The 16-foot bronze-clad statue was designed by sculptor Karl Bitter and was completed by his student Karl Heinrick Gruppe (after Bitter's death in 1915.) The statue was mounted on a 100-foot doric column designed by architect Walter Cook.

According to the NYC Parks Henry Hudson Park website:

"The monument stands in the park's northern plaza at its highest elevation. The 16-foot tall figure of Hudson atop the column depicts a resolute Hudson clad in seafaring garb, standing as if balancing himself on a ship's deck. The relief on the south side depicts Hudson recieving his commission from the Dutch East India Company. The North facing relief portrays Europeans and Native Americans at the first Dutch fur trading post in Manhattan."

so weird reading about polar explorers who returned from their expeditions and had a long life and successful career afterwards… don’t you know you were supposed to die tragically?

#looking at you fridtjof nansen. you’re meant to keep returning to the arctic until you die there not have a successful political career! #henry hudson + the franklin expedition + robert falcon scott’s expedition are the blueprint #the terror #<- the terror has conditioned me… the arctic must always win

Henry has always hated local car shows because some Piston Cup enthusiast always shows up with a hornet with the fabulous paint job.

Staff Pick of the Week

We recently transferred an early 1930s edition of Argentine-British writer William Henry Hudson's novel Green Mansions, published in New York by Three Sirens Press with illustrations by Keith Henderson, from the library's general collections to Special Collections. The story is convoluted and fantastical, about a wealthy Venezuelan revolutionary who flees into the Guyanese jungle (the Green Mansions of the title?), tenuously befriends a village of indigenous people, explores a sector of the forest that the villagers fear, and encounters a waif-like, "shy and mysterious girl with the melodious bird-like voice" who the villagers are convinced is the evil spirit-protector "Daughter of the Didi." Nevertheless, he continues to seek out the girl, whom he befriends and falls in love with, and eventually learns that she is the last member of her tribe. This ultimately leads, in a roundabout way, to a falling-out with the villagers and tragic consequences.

Originally published in 1904 to some acclaim, this exotic romance bears a palpable strain of ethnic superiority. The indigenous people are backwards, superstitious, and violent; the protagonist is European, thoughtful, and reasoned (and wealthy to boot); and Rima, the ethereal jungle girl, and her people were apparently based by Hudson on persistent rumors of a lost tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. Probably not a novel I will be reading any time soon, but I am quite taken by the drama in the black and white illustrations of Scottish artist and illustrator Keith Henderson (1883-1982).

Henderson created the novel's 35 illustrations for the trade and limited editions originally published by Duckworth & Co. in 1926. While there is no publishing date in this edition by Three Sirens Press, a publisher that specialized in high-quality reprints of classic texts illustrated by noted artists, there is some evidence that it was produced in 1932. I hope you enjoy these illustrations as much as I do.
