EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the fascinating costume and implements of a newly discovered tribe of Esquimaux, as documented by Dr. Rae on Victoria Land. The image is part of Mr. Barrows' collection at the Polytechnic Institution, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditional dress of these indigenous people. In this print, we see both male and female members of the tribe adorned in their distinctive attire. The intricate details of their costumes highlight their resourcefulness in adapting to the harsh Arctic environment. They carry various tools such as axes, picks, shovels, adzes, and lamps that are essential for survival in this unforgiving landscape. The presence of fish bowls suggests that fishing plays a significant role in their daily lives for sustenance. Additionally, books scattered around symbolize their thirst for knowledge despite living in remote regions. The illustration transports us back to an era when polar expeditions were at the forefront of exploration efforts. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also our responsibility to preserve and respect diverse cultures. This artwork captures not just one tribe's way of life but also celebrates wildlife animals found within this region—depicting several species alongside humans harmoniously coexisting with nature. Overall, this engraving offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and resilience exhibited by these Esquimaux tribes while shedding light on historical Arctic exploration endeavors during that time period.
