EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century showcases the unique mode of transportation used in the Far North during that time. The print, created by Christoph Krieger and engraved by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot, depicts carriages or sledges specifically designed for travel in this harsh region. Intriguingly, these carriages were utilized by both Finns and Lapps who rode sleighs drawn by either horses or reindeer. The image also features a Fenni man wearing long wooden shoes resembling skis in the background, adding to the cultural richness portrayed. The intricate details within a decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann further enhance this historical artwork's beauty. It is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned collection titled "Costumes anciens et modernes, Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il mondo" published between 1859-1860. This engraving offers us a glimpse into how people traversed through Finland, Lapland, Norway, and other parts of Scandinavia during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in adapting to extreme climates while showcasing traditional modes of transport specific to this region. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and reflect on how far we have come in terms of technological advancements since then.
