EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Winter Scene in Lapland: A Sami Man in a Reindeer Sleigh and a Skier" This image, taken from Leopold von Buch's "Travels Through Norway and Lapland," published in 1813, showcases the daily life of the Sami people, also known as Lapplanders, in their icy homeland. The scene is beautifully depicted as a copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, hand-colored by Lazaretti for Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages" in Milan between 1815 and 1817. In the foreground, a Sami man skillfully navigates his reindeer sleigh across the frozen river. The reindeer, a vital part of Sami culture, pull the sleigh effortlessly over the ice, providing warmth and transportation in the harsh winter conditions. The Sami man is bundled up against the cold, his traditional clothing a testament to the resilience and adaptability of his people. In the background, another man glides gracefully on skis, leaving a trail of snow in his wake. The contrast between the stillness of the sleigh and the dynamic movement of the skier adds depth and visual interest to the image. The frozen river, with its mirror-like surface, reflects the winter landscape, enhancing the sense of tranquility and isolation. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the Sami people during the winter months, showcasing their unique connection to their environment and their reliance on the reindeer and their traditional ways of travel.
