EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eskimaux (engraving)" takes us back in time to the 18th century, showcasing a dramatic scene among a group of Eskimos. The engraving, skillfully drawn by Julius Caesar Ibbetson and engraved by John Thornthwaite, captures a moment of distress and punishment within the Inuit community. Amidst rocky surroundings, we witness two men pulling a rope tightly around the neck of a bearded man who stands in a pit with his pipe. The women nearby appear distraught as they observe this unsettling act unfold before their eyes. This powerful image sheds light on traditional practices that were prevalent during that era. The clothing worn by these Eskimos adds an authentic touch to the scene, reflecting their cultural heritage and way of life. As we delve into this artwork's details, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously crafted to convey emotions and tell a story.
