EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of 17th-century Lapland, where the indigenous Lapp people thrived in harmony with nature. This evocative image, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to a scene of daily life in this remote and beautiful region. The Lapps, also known as Saami, are dressed in their traditional attire, which includes long, fur-lined coats, intricately designed hats, and thick boots. They are surrounded by their beloved reindeer, which were not only their primary source of food but also their faithful companions and essential work animals. Reindeer herding was a crucial aspect of Lapp life, and the animals were treated with great care and respect. The herders would lead their reindeer from pasture to pasture, following the migratory patterns of the animals and adapting to the changing seasons. In this scene, we see a Lapp family preparing for the winter months. The children play nearby, while their parents work on repairing a sleigh or perhaps building a tree house, a common dwelling in Lapland. The trees in the background are adorned with snow, and the sky is a brilliant shade of orange and pink, hinting at the approaching sunset. Despite the harsh winter conditions, the Lapps lived fulfilling lives, adapting to their environment and making the most of their resources. Their connection to the land and their reindeer was deep and unbreakable, creating a unique and enduring culture that continues to thrive in Lapland today.
