EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Eskimo Kayak, 1590 (1956)" transports us back in time to witness a dramatic clash between European explorers and Eskimos armed with bows and arrows. The image captures the intensity of the battle as the boat crewed by Europeans valiantly fights off their attackers. The print is part of a volume called Things, which delves into the origin and early history of various objects. Published by Readers Union in London in 1956, this particular image sheds light on an essential mode of transportation - the kayak - used by Eskimos during the 16th century. In this scene, set against a backdrop of icy cliffs and floes, we see both sides fiercely engaged in combat. The Europeans defend themselves with muskets while their adversaries skillfully shoot arrows from their kayaks. A flag flutters proudly atop one of the boats, symbolizing national identity amidst this clash of cultures. The photograph not only showcases historical exploration but also highlights concepts such as warfare and weaponry. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly peaceful journeys can turn perilous when encountering unfamiliar territories. Though created by an unknown artist, John White's name is associated with this piece through his involvement with The Print Collector publication. This stunning image offers viewers a glimpse into a significant moment in history when different worlds collided on treacherous waters.
