EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Sami People or Lapps: Jannes Holm and his Wife," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the 19th century. The image, created by Scottish engraver William H. Lizars after an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and daily life of the Sami or Lapp people, indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic regions, primarily in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Jannes Holm, depicted in the foreground, dons a fur hat and collar, symbolizing his connection to the harsh Arctic climate. His wife, wearing a fur-trimmed hat, stands beside him, their expressions conveying a sense of resilience and pride. The couple's traditional attire is a testament to their adaptability to the extreme conditions of their environment. The Sami people, also known as the Lapps or the Hyperboreans, have a rich history and culture that dates back thousands of years. They are believed to be the oldest continuous culture in Europe, with a strong connection to their land and its natural resources. This engraving, created in 1848, serves as an essential record of their heritage and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the traditions and stories of indigenous communities. Charles Hamilton Smith's Natural History of the Human Species, from which this image is derived, was a groundbreaking work in the field of ethnology. The publication of such detailed and accurate depictions of various ethnic groups helped to broaden the understanding of human diversity and promote cultural awareness during a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific inquiry.
