EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Skins for clothes" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century when trade cards were a popular means of advertising. The artwork showcases the rich diversity of animal skins used in clothing during that era. In this scene, we are transported to the icy landscapes of Canada's polar regions. A group of Canadian hunters is depicted on a sleigh pulled by powerful dogs, skillfully navigating through the frozen terrain. They have embarked on an arduous journey to gather precious furs from various animals such as wolves, bears, and even possums. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every fur texture and color variation is meticulously captured. From the sleek white coat of a majestic polar bear to the earthy tones found in wolf pelts, each skin tells its own story. This image not only highlights the importance of fur trading but also serves as an educational tool for viewers. It offers insight into how indigenous people and settlers alike relied on these animal resources for survival in harsh climates. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time – reminding us of our connection with nature and our reliance on it for sustenance and protection against extreme conditions.
