EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 19th century takes us on a journey through the enchanting landscapes of Lapland. The image, captured by an English School artist, showcases three distinct scenes that offer a glimpse into the rich culture and natural beauty of this remote region. In the first scene, we witness a witch selling wind to a sailor. This mystical encounter between two worlds sparks our imagination and reminds us of the ancient folklore that still lingers in these lands. The second scene portrays Sami people gracefully riding a reindeer-driven sledge, showcasing their deep connection with nature and their unique way of life. Lastly, we are treated to a breathtaking view of the North Cape of Europe. Its majestic cliffs stand tall against the vastness of the Arctic Ocean, reminding us of Lapland's raw and untamed beauty. Handcoloured using copperplate engraving techniques, this print exudes both artistic skill and historical significance. It was originally featured in Rev. Isaac Taylor's "Scenes in Europe" designed to educate and entertain young travelers who remained at home. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to experience Lapland's wonders firsthand – its witches' secrets, Sami traditions, and awe-inspiring landscapes that have captivated explorers for centuries.
