EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a Greenland Eskimo dog-sledge in all its glory. The image showcases the traditional mode of transportation used by the indigenous people of Greenland, highlighting their deep connection with nature and their reliance on these loyal canine companions. The dogs are harnessed together to pull the sled, while an Eskimo stands confidently at the helm, guiding them through the icy terrain. The sledge itself is intricately designed, showcasing skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is a testament to both practicality and beauty. In this print, we see not only a means of transportation but also a way of life for these resilient people. The walking stick or cane held by one of the figures adds an interesting touch, perhaps symbolizing strength and stability in navigating harsh environments. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The World its Cities and Peoples" by Edwin Hopper in 1890. Its inclusion in this publication speaks to its significance as a representation of cultural diversity and exploration during that time period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical piece within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate it today. Through this engraving, we can catch a glimpse into the fascinating world of Greenland's Eskimo culture and gain insight into their unique way of life.
