EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Ricci, from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1837, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of an Inuit (Esquimo) family in Greenland. The image showcases the intricate sealskin clothing that was essential for survival in the harsh Arctic climate. The family members, huddled together, are dressed in parkas, boots, and mittens made from the prized hides. The father figure, clad in a shorter parka, is preparing to embark on a fishing expedition in his kayak. He carries a spear and a coil of rope, ready to secure his boat to the larger fishing vessel. The man's determination is palpable as he sets off on his journey, leaving his loved ones behind. The family's connection to the sea and their reliance on its bounty is beautifully captured in this exquisite illustration. The Inuit people have lived in the Arctic regions for thousands of years, adapting to the challenging environment through their innovative use of natural resources. This image offers a window into their rich cultural heritage and the resilience of the human spirit.
