From Franklin's 'Narrative of a journey to the shores of the Polar Sea, in the years 1819, 20, 21, and 22' engraved by Edward Francis Finden after a drawing by midshipman and artist George Back, published in 1823. Franklin named the Wilberforce Falls (the highest north of the Arctic Circle) after William Wilberforce, and the Hood River on which they lie after midshipman Robert Hood, who was murdered on the way to Fort Enterprise.
