"Remarkable appearance in the sky always opposite the sun (top) and The Devils Thumb, ships boring and warping in the pack (bottom)" is a notable pair of artworks by the 19th-century British artist William Henry Browne. These works are significant for their depiction of maritime and atmospheric phenomena, capturing the essence of seafaring life and the natural wonders encountered by sailors during the Age of Sail. Browne, known for his detailed and evocative maritime scenes, often drew from his experiences at sea, providing a window into the challenges and beauty of naval exploration and the Arctic environment.

The first piece, "Remarkable appearance in the sky always opposite the sun," is likely an artistic representation of atmospheric optical phenomena such as parhelia or sundogs, which are bright spots or halos that can appear around the sun due to the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. These phenomena are often observed in cold climates and can create stunning visual displays, which Browne sought to capture in his work.

The second artwork, "The Devils Thumb, ships boring and warping in the pack," presumably illustrates the perilous conditions faced by ships navigating through pack ice. The title references a distinctive, thumb-like iceberg or rock formation known as the Devil's Thumb, which would have served as a landmark for sailors. The terms "boring" and "warping" refer to the laborious and dangerous techniques used by crews to maneuver their vessels through dense ice, either by forcefully pushing through (boring) or by using anchors and cables to pull the ship forward (warping).

Together, these works not only showcase Browne's skill as an artist but also serve as historical documents that provide insight into the experiences of sailors during a time when the polar regions were still largely mysterious and uncharted. The pieces are a testament to the human fascination with the natural world and the lengths to which explorers went to navigate and understand it.
