EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LAPPS SKIING, 1555" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable scene from the Renaissance era. The image showcases Lapp hunters gracefully gliding on skis across the snowy landscapes of Lapland. This woodcut, extracted from Olaus Magnus' Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus published in Rome in 1555, offers a glimpse into the daily life of these indigenous people. In this frozen wilderness, men and women clad in traditional attire navigate effortlessly on skis, showcasing their exceptional skills as they pursue their prey. Armed with bows and arrows, spears, and accompanied by loyal dogs, these skilled hunters brave the arctic conditions to provide for their community. The presence of reindeer hints at their integral role not only as transportation but also as sources of sustenance. The composition beautifully captures both the serenity and harshness of winter in Lapland. A tent stands tall against the backdrop of snow-covered trees while wisps of smoke rise from its chimney - a testament to human resilience amidst nature's challenges. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that skiing has long been an essential part of human culture even centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that our ancestors were no strangers to adventure or adapting to extreme environments; instead, they embraced them with grace and determination.
