M.J. Burns
M.J. Burns was apparently an artist active during the 1880s.
Among his works were designs for a series of very fine engravings
that illustrated the two volumes of "The Voyage of the Jeannette",
edited by Emma DeLong and published in 1884.
This page provides links to photographs of engravings after
designs by M.J. Burns.
The following engravings, all concerning the Jeannette
Arctic Expedition of 1879-1881, were made after designs by
M.J. Burns:
