EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Native (Inupiat) man from Sarichef Island, Alaska in the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, he dons a hooded parka or anorak made from animal skin, complemented by trousers and boots of the same material. Holding a bow and arrow with confidence, his piercing gaze reflects his deep connection to nature and his ancestral roots. The intricate details of this image are brought to life through handcoloured woodcut by A. Vangauberghe, showcasing the vibrant colors that adorn the man's clothing and surroundings. Notably, his mouth is adorned with piercings made from walrus-ivory rings, symbolizing both cultural significance and personal expression.
