Summary

Description

English: Title: "Friends, farewell!" / Frank A. Nankivell. Abstract/medium: 1 photomechanical print : offset, color.

[In 1909, US Navy engineer Robert Peary completed an expedition that he claimed was to the North Pole. Although this is heavily disputed by modern historians, he was credited for the achievement at the time.] The "undiscovered" things are:

South Pole: Wouldn't be reached until 1911.
Fountain of Youth - famously searched for by Ponce de Leon
Lost Lenore: Reference to Edgar Allan Poe. The phrase comes from The Raven, he also wrote the poem Lenore, which doesn't explicitly describe her as "lost", though definitely dead.
Universal Peace: World Peace has been sought for years, hasn't been achieved yet.
Captain Kidd's Treasure: Famously lost pirate treasure.
Something for nothing/Shares: Reference to expression "You can't get something for nothing" Basically, a working get-rich-quick scheme.
The Great American Novel: One of those things that's always discussed in American literary circles, never had a universally-agreed candidate
Honest graft: Using one's political power to take advantage of opportunities without corruption. Probably not possible.
Perpetual motion: The idea that a machine can be built that generates power without cost.
The Man who wrote Shakespeare: Reference to the conspiracy theory that Shakespeare's works were written by someone other than Shakespeare.
The Man in the Iron Mask: A prisoner in 17th to early 18th-century France forced to wear an iron mask. Identity unknown.

Other languages:

Čeština: V roce 1909 dokončil inženýr amerického námořnictva Robert Peary expedici a tvrdil, že přitom byl na severním pólu. Ačkoli to moderní historikové silně zpochybňují, byl mu tento úspěch v té době připisován.

Deutsch: Titelbild des Puck vom 13. Oktober 1909: nachdem Robert Peary angeblich den Nordpol erreicht hatte, verabschiedet sich dieser vom Club der unentdeckten Dinge.

English: In 1909, US Navy engineer Robert Peary completed an expedition that he claimed was to the North Pole. Although this is heavily disputed by modern historians, he was credited for the achievement at the time.

Español: En 1909, el ingeniero de la marina estadounidense Robert Peary concluyó una expedición que, según él, había alcanzado el Polo Norte. Aunque los historiadores modernos lo niegan en gran medida, en su momento se le atribuyó el logro, como se muestra en esta ilustración de la revista Puck.

Français : En 1909, l'ingénieur de l'

US Navy

Robert Peary affirme que l'expédition qu'il vient de mener a atteint le pôle Nord géographique. Cette allégation est remise en cause par les historiens modernes, mais il a été reconnu pour cet exploit à l'époque. Cette Une du magazine Puck en 1909 représente le pôle Nord faisant ses adieux au « Club des indécouverts ».

Italiano: Nel 1909, l'esploratore e ingegnere della Marina statunitense Robert Peary dichiarò di aver raggiunto il polo nord. Sebbene ci sia ampio dibattito tra gli storici moderni sulla veridicità di tale rivendicazione, allora a Peary ne fu riconosciuto il merito. Nella vignetta, comparsa sulla copertina della rivista satirica Puck, la personificazione del polo nord abbandona il gruppo di quanto resta ancora incognito.

Magyar: A Puck magazin 1909. október 13-i borítója. 1909-ben Robert Peary, az amerikai haditengerészet mérnöke saját állítása szerint – elsőként – elérte a földrajzi Északi-sarkot. Bár ezt a modern történészek erősen vitatják, annak idején neki tulajdonították a teljesítményt

Nederlands: In 1909 beweerde Robert Edwin Peary als eerste mens de Noordpool bereikt te hebben

Português: Em 1909, o engenheiro da Marinha dos Estados Unidos, Robert Peary, concluiu uma expedição que ele alegou ser ao Polo Norte. Embora isso seja fortemente contestado pelos historiadores modernos, ele foi creditado pela conquista na época, como mostra nesta ilustração da revista Puck.

Slovenščina: Leta 1909 je inženir ameriške vojne mornarice Robert Peary končal odpravo, za katero je trdil, da je dosegla Severni tečaj. Čeprav sodobni zgodovinarji temu močno oporekajo, so mu takrat pripisali zasluge za dosežek.

Македонски: Насловна страница со Роберт Пири во чест на неговото наводно освојување на Северниот Пол, 1909 г.
