EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1859, titled "Eskimos imitating animals to induce Europeans to approach" offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Arctic exploration during the 19th century. The print showcases a scene where Eskimos, dressed in traditional hunting attire, are seen mimicking various animals in an attempt to entice European explorers. The image is part of Sir Allen Young's private collection and serves as a testament to his significant contributions as an English master mariner and explorer. Young played a crucial role in Arctic expeditions, particularly in the search for Sir John Franklin. The steam yacht Fox takes center stage in this artwork. Commanded by Francis Leopold McClintock during an expedition through northern Canada, it was on a mission to uncover the fate of Franklin's missing expedition. The vessel became synonymous with intrepid exploration and rescue operations. Intriguingly, this lithograph captures both cultural exchange and communication between different worlds. It highlights how indigenous people employed their knowledge of animal behavior as a means to engage with foreign visitors. This interaction between Europeans and Eskimos sheds light on the complexities of early travel and exploration. As we admire this historical print today, it reminds us not only of the bravery exhibited by these explorers but also encourages us to appreciate diverse cultures that have shaped our understanding of remote regions like the Arctic.
