EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of Eskimos at Hudson Bay, showcasing their traditional way of life in the Arctic. Taken from Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, Volume I, plate 23 by Jules Ferrario and engraved by Angelo Biasioli in the early 19th century, this colour engraving offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these indigenous people. In the image, we see a family of Eskimos navigating through icy waters in their canoe. The skillful use of arrows as weapons suggests their proficiency in hunting and survival in this harsh environment. The captain steers the boat with an oar while others paddle diligently to propel it forward. Surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, they have set up tents and an ice house or igloo for shelter. Their traditional dress is on full display - warm fur garments that protect them from freezing temperatures. This scene provides valuable insight into their rich cultural heritage and deep connection with nature. The print is part of The Stapleton Collection and was inspired by works made during Sir John Ross's expeditions to the Arctic between 1818-1823. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights the resilience and adaptability of indigenous communities across North America. This remarkable engraving beautifully captures both the beauty and challenges faced by these Eskimo families as they navigate through their frozen homeland centuries ago.
