EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a winter wonderland in Lapland. The image showcases Laplanders gracefully gliding on wooden slats and sleds through the pristine snowy landscape of Laplantic Skate. Titled "Sleigh Riders" this artwork captures the essence of traditional winter sports in Europe during 1682. The upper right corner bears a stamp marking it as part of the esteemed First Book folio, numbered 87. The presence of Europeans is noted, perhaps indicating their fascination with these indigenous practices. Winter sports enthusiasts can also spot skis, sledge, and sleigh depicted in this etching. Jan Luyken's name is mentioned on the object, suggesting that he may have been involved in creating or documenting this stunning piece. Hailing from Amsterdam, Luyken was renowned for his artistic talent during that era. Measuring at approximately 174 mm by 134 mm, this paper-based etching exudes an aura of nostalgia and adventure. It serves as a testament to both the beauty of Lapland's natural landscapes and its rich cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable print from centuries past, let us be transported into an enchanting world where Laplanders effortlessly navigate their way through snow-covered terrains on their trusty wooden sleds - a timeless reminder of humanity's enduring connection with nature and our shared love for winter sports.
