EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Takkeelikkeeta, an Eskimaux of Igloolik" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of indigenous peoples in North America. The print showcases a man named Takkeelikkeeta, hailing from the Inuit community in Igloolik. Drawn by Captain G. F. Lyon and skillfully engraved by Edward Finden, this image is a proof plate from William Edward Parry's renowned book 'Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-west Passage. ' Published in London in 1824, Parry's work aimed to document his expedition and shed light on these remote regions. In this portrait-like representation, we see Takkeelikkeeta standing with pride and dignity. His traditional clothing reflects his cultural heritage as an Eskimau from Igloolik. The intricate details captured by Lyon and brought to life through Finden's engravings allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such artwork during that era. Beyond its artistic value, this print also serves as historical documentation of exploration efforts during that time period. It reminds us of the curiosity that drove explorers like Parry to venture into unknown territories and interact with native communities. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it prompts reflection on our shared history with indigenous peoples while highlighting their resilience and rich cultural traditions that continue to thrive today.
