EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Roberto Freschi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1837, offers a glimpse into the traditional hunting practices of Inuit (Esquimo) men. The image showcases the harsh yet beautiful Arctic landscape, with some men in small fishing boats bravely navigating the choppy waves to hunt whales using harpoons. Their determination is evident as they throw their weapons with precision and skill, aiming for the massive creatures that surface in the distance. Meanwhile, other Inuit hunters can be seen on the ice, patiently waiting for their prey. They are armed with spears, carefully observing the movements of seals and fish that swim beneath the frozen surface. The intricate details of their clothing and equipment are beautifully rendered, from their fur-lined parkas and boots to their harpoons and spears. This illustration provides a window into the rich cultural heritage of the Inuit people, who have relied on hunting and fishing for their survival in the harsh Arctic climate for centuries. The image is a testament to their resilience, resourcefulness, and deep connection to the natural world. The handcoloured copperplate engraving technique adds an artistic touch to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical or ethnographic art.
