EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the traditional costumes of Greenland in the 18th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Middleton's Complete System of Geography (1777-80). The image depicts both adults and children dressed in their distinctive attire, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage of this Arctic region. The little child featured in the engraving adds an endearing touch to the composition, reminding us that traditions are passed down through generations. The women's costumes exude femininity and elegance, with intricate details and vibrant colors. Their garments reflect the unique style prevalent during that era. Meanwhile, men are portrayed wearing masculine outfits that convey strength and resilience. Set against a black-and-white backdrop, this illustration transports us back to a time when Greenland was under Danish rule within Scandinavia. It serves as a historical reminder of Europe's colonial past while highlighting its diverse geography. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of history for all to appreciate and learn from. This print not only captures the beauty of these traditional costumes but also invites viewers to explore different cultures and embrace our shared human history without commercial intent or use mentioned.
