EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Laplanders" artist Julius Caesar Ibbetson takes us on a journey to the remote lands of Lapland in the 18th century. The print showcases a group of courageous men skillfully cornering a bear using their bows, harpoons, and loyal dogs. This dramatic scene captures the essence of traditional Laplander hunting practices. Ibbetson's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the hunters' clothing and weaponry. Dressed in fashions unique to their culture, these brave individuals don attire perfectly suited for survival in harsh Arctic conditions. Their skis, an essential mode of transportation across vast snowy landscapes, further emphasize their resourcefulness. The image transports us to Lapland, a region spanning Norway and other parts of Scandinavia. It offers a glimpse into the lives and customs of these resilient people who have adapted to survive amidst nature's challenges. This particular print is part of a private collection and was engraved by John Thornthwaite under Ibbetson's artistic direction. Published in May 1788 by Dr J Fruster, it serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that allows viewers to appreciate the rich cultural heritage found within European history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's archives so that we may continue to marvel at its beauty and learn about the fascinating world depicted within it.
