EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lapland Sledge, 1803" we are transported to the enchanting world of Finland's Lapland region. The image showcases a traditional Lapland sledge, expertly captured by English artist John Augustus Atkinson in vivid color lithography. The scene depicts the harsh and unforgiving conditions of a winter landscape, where freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall create an otherworldly atmosphere. Against this backdrop, the reindeer-drawn sleigh stands out with its elegant design and antler-adorned animals. Atkinson, known for his attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of different cultures, portrays not only a means of transport but also a symbol of survival in these extreme conditions. The sled serves as a lifeline for those living in remote areas, allowing them to navigate through treacherous terrains with ease. This particular artwork holds historical significance as it was created by Atkinson himself - an esteemed Royal Academician who dedicated his career to documenting various aspects of life across Europe. Through this stunning composition, he offers us a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by inhabitants of Lapland while celebrating their resilience and resourcefulness. With Bridgeman Images' high-quality reproduction techniques preserving every intricate detail, this print transports viewers back in time to experience firsthand the beauty and challenges that come hand-in-hand with winter in Lapland.
