This atmospheric aquatint engraving, titled "LE CAP NORD, AU SOLEIL DE MINUIT." (North Cape, at Midnight Sun.), is Plate XLVI from Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand’s notable work, "Voyage du Cap Nord" (Journey to the North Cape), published in 1802. The print depicts a dramatic coastal scene with towering rocky cliffs, a turbulent sea, and a small boat navigating the waves, all under the low-lying midnight sun. This evocative landscape captures the unique natural phenomenon of the Arctic summer, reflecting the picturesque and documentary aims of early 19th-century travel art.

Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) was a distinguished Swedish military officer, cartographer, writer, and artist. His extensive travels through northern Europe, particularly his journey to the North Cape, provided the material for his celebrated topographical works. Skjöldebrand's meticulous observations and artistic skill combined to create detailed and atmospheric views of landscapes, which contributed significantly to the visual documentation of Sweden and its surrounding regions during the Romantic era.
