EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Eskimos - fishing walrus - Eskimos - walrus fishing in 1888" takes us back to a time when traditional hunting practices were an integral part of Eskimo civilization. The image, originally featured in the renowned "Journal des Voyages" in 1888, showcases the unique relationship between humans and nature. In this scene, we witness a group of Eskimos skillfully navigating their dugout boat through icy waters as they embark on a walrus fishing expedition. The hunter's determination is palpable as he carefully aims his harpoon towards the massive creature swimming nearby. Surrounding them are towering icebergs and floating floes, adding to the dramatic ambiance of this frozen landscape. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, captures not only the physicality of this ancient practice but also its cultural significance. The print serves as a window into the lives of native populations who relied on these hunts for survival and sustenance. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it reminds us of humanity's deep connection with nature and our ability to adapt to even the harshest environments. This artwork stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and respect for animal life—a powerful reminder that traditions can shape civilizations while coexisting harmoniously with their surroundings.
