EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a scene of Greenland men and women returning from their fishing expedition. The print is part of the renowned collection "Usi e Costumi di Tutti i Popoli dell Universo" which delves into the history, laws, military, and religion of various nations throughout time. In this particular image, we witness a glimpse into the lives of these Greenlandic individuals as they navigate their way back home in traditional boats. The men are rowing with determination while the women sit gracefully amidst piles of freshly caught fish. Their costumes reflect their cultural heritage, adorned with furs to protect against the harsh Arctic climate. The presence of icebergs in the background serves as a reminder of Greenland's unique environment and its close relationship with nature. It also highlights how crucial fishing is for sustenance in this region. As we observe this engraving by an unknown artist, we can't help but appreciate how it captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into centuries-old traditions that have shaped life in Greenland. This artwork offers us a window into another world – one where human survival depends on skillful navigation through treacherous waters and bountiful catches from icy depths. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work has brought this historical piece back to life for contemporary audiences to appreciate and learn from.
