EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "GREENLAND ESKIMOS, 1555" takes us back in time to witness the lives of Eskimos sealing among ice-floes in Greenland. The woodcut from Olaus Magnus Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus, Rome, Italy, 1555 offers a glimpse into the Arctic world of these indigenous people. In this frozen landscape, we see a group of Eskimo men skillfully navigating their boat through treacherous icy waters. Armed with harpoons and spears, they embark on a daring hunting expedition to secure sustenance for their community. The hunters' focus is unwavering as they search for seals amidst towering icebergs and floating ice floes. The image captures not only the physical challenges faced by these brave individuals but also reflects their deep connection with nature and mastery over it. It serves as a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness in adapting to life in such harsh conditions. Transporting us back to the Renaissance era, this woodcut provides valuable historical insight into the exploration of the New World and its inhabitants. It reminds us of the rich cultural diversity that existed long before our time. Through this remarkable artwork by Olaus Magnus, we are transported across centuries and continents to appreciate both the beauty and hardships experienced by Greenland Eskimos during an era when survival depended on man's ability to conquer nature's formidable obstacles.
