EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Laplander Clad in Fine Fur Clothes and Hat, 16th Century This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in Vienna in 1837, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the 16th century and the far reaches of the northern world. The image depicts a Laplander, a person indigenous to the Lapland region, which spans parts of Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. The Laplander is shown wearing an intricately designed ensemble, consisting of a long, fur-lined coat, a pair of fur-trimmed trousers, and a high-collared shirt, all made from the finest fur. The coat, with its voluminous sleeves and a fur-trimmed hood, is a testament to the Laplanders' mastery of fur processing and their reliance on the natural resources of their environment. The hat, adorned with a magnificent, plush, and intricately patterned fur pom-pom, adds a distinctive touch to the Laplander's appearance. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is evident in the way the fur is rendered, with each strand appearing distinct and lifelike. The Laplander's expression, though not easily discernible due to the limitations of the medium, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. This image provides a window into the rich history and cultural traditions of the Laplanders during the 16th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in fostering a deeper understanding of our collective past.
