EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the daily life of Eskimo hunters in early 20th century Alaska. The image showcases the arctic landscape as a group of native Eskimo hunters skillfully cut up a massive walrus on the snowy seashore, near their boat. The Lomen Brothers, renowned photographers of that era, beautifully captured this scene, which depicts both the harshness and resourcefulness required for survival in such extreme conditions. The photo reveals the intense labor involved in hunting and processing marine wildlife for sustenance and materials. A man clad in fur clothing meticulously works to extract valuable tusks from the dead walrus while his fellow hunters assist him with precision cuts. Their boat stands nearby as a testament to their hard work and dedication. In this frozen wilderness, where cold winds whip across vast expanses of snow-covered land, these brave individuals demonstrate their deep connection to nature as they turn its resources into necessities for their community's survival. This snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into an ancient tradition passed down through generations - one that embodies resilience, adaptability, and respect for nature's bounty. As we admire this historical print by Granger Art on Demand titled "ALASKA: WALRUS HUNTING" we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within every aspect of Alaskan life during the turn of the century.
