EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Home Among the Mountains: Sami People in their Traditional Sail and Stake Tent" This image portrays a group of Sami people, also known as Lapplanders, in their traditional dwelling, a tent made of sail and stakes, nestled amidst the rugged mountains. The tent's unique design, with its sails and stakes, allowed the Sami people to adapt to the harsh Arctic climate, providing shelter from both the wind and the snow. The interior of the tent is furnished with seats made of soft reindeer skins and woollen covers, offering a sense of warmth and comfort. Reindeer, an essential part of Sami culture, not only provided shelter but also served as a vital source of food and transportation. The illustration is taken from Leopold von Buch's "Travels Through Norway and Lapland," published in 1813. The copperplate engraving, hand-coloured by Lazaretti, is part of Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti), published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. This image offers a glimpse into the traditional way of life of the Sami people, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of the challenging Arctic environment. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive among the mountains and forests of Lapland.
