EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Eskimos Hunting, 1580" offers a glimpse into the daily life of Eskimo communities in the late 16th century. The scene depicts a group of men and women embarking on a hunting expedition in their traditional canoes or kayaks across the vast Arctic Ocean. With great precision and detail, this German woodcut beautifully captures the essence of their maritime culture. The hunters are seen skillfully maneuvering through icy waters, armed with harpoons ready to strike at sea birds soaring above them. Their expertise is evident as they navigate effortlessly amidst floating icebergs while maintaining balance in their slender vessels. A sense of unity and camaraderie permeates the image as they work together towards a common goal. Intriguingly, an Indian baby is nestled securely within one of the canoes, suggesting cultural exchange between different indigenous groups during this era. Surrounding them is an exterior landscape that showcases the harsh yet breathtaking beauty of the Arctic region. This woodcut print not only serves as a visual record but also provides valuable insights into transportation methods and travel practices employed by these resourceful people centuries ago. It transports us back to an era when nature dictated every aspect of life for these resilient individuals. "ESKIMOS HUNTING, 1580" invites us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic mastery captured within its intricate lines and expressive forms.
