EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the costume of a man from Bjarmaland, now known as Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia. Created by Christoph Krieger in the late 16th century, this print showcases the traditional attire and weaponry of this ancient society. The man is adorned in clothes made entirely of luxurious ermine skins, symbolizing his status and wealth. He carries a sabre, crossbow, and lance, highlighting his readiness for battle or hunting expeditions. However, it is his remarkable footwear that truly stands out - long pointed curved shoes designed to enable him to run swiftly on ice and snow. Within an intricately engraved decorative frame by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot skillfully bring Krieger's woodcut to life through their woodblock engraving technique. This image offers us a glimpse into the history of Bjarmaland's culture and traditions during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to their resourcefulness in adapting their clothing for survival in harsh winter conditions while also showcasing their prowess with various weapons. As we admire this historic artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness the rich heritage of Russian society unfold before our eyes.
