I like these collage-like artworks by Tavares Strachan. One of the figures depicted above in the third piece, just above the queen, is polar explorer Matthew Henson, who was the first person (maybe?) to reach the geographic North Pole in 1909 as part of Robert Peary’s expedition.

Henson is one of the adventurers featured in Alastair Humphreys' children's book, Against the Odds: The Incredible Struggles of 20 Great Adventurers.
