EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the end of the 19th century on Disko Island, Greenland. The image showcases an Eskimo from Qeqertarsuaq, adorned in traditional costume and hairstyle. Engraved by an unknown artist in 1884, this piece offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous people during that era. The subject's attire reflects their Danish influence, as Denmark had colonized Greenland at the time. Their knowledge of both cultures is evident through their unique clothing and footwear choices. Standing near a door with a sign, it seems they may be outside a bistro or establishment where alcohol is served. The engraving captures not only the physical appearance but also hints at the traditions and customs prevalent among these communities. It serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to maintain their cultural identity despite external influences. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this historical moment through his careful restoration work on this engraving. As part of a private collection, it allows us to appreciate the beauty and diversity found within Nordic countries while honoring the heritage of those who came before us.
