EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured between the late 19th and early 20th centuries by the Lomen Brothers, this evocative photograph depicts a couple embracing each other on a dog sled in the harsh Arctic landscape of Alaska. Dressed in traditional indigenous attire, the man wears a hooded fur coat and trousers, while the woman dons a long, hooded dress and fur-trimmed boots. Their direct gaze into the camera suggests a sense of pride and connection to their heritage and the frontier life they lead. The couple's meeting of frontiers is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of people living in the far reaches of North America during this era. The dog sled, a vital mode of transportation in the snowy terrain, is a symbol of their reliance on nature and the importance of community. The Lomen Brothers, a renowned photography studio based in Seattle, captured this image during their extensive travels documenting the lives of indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Their work is an invaluable contribution to the ethnographic and ethnological records of this period, providing a glimpse into the lives of people who lived on the edge of the expanding frontier. The photograph's timeless quality and the couple's intense connection to each other and their environment make it a captivating addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the Arctic region and the people who call it home.
