EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the life of a Sami Laplander in the 18th century. The image showcases a sledge drawn by a majestic reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, as it gracefully glides through the snowy landscape. The reindeer is yoked to the sledge around its chest, and the reins are tied to its magnificent antlers. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving from Reverend Thomas Smith's "The Naturalists Cabinet" offers an intriguing insight into animal history. Smith, a prolific writer and editor on various subjects including natural history and ancient history, presents us with this exquisite scientific illustration that beautifully depicts the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals. The Sami people, also known as Saami or Samoiedes, have long relied on reindeer for their livelihoods in Lapland, Norway. This image not only showcases their ingenious use of sleighs but also highlights their deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition that has shaped both human culture and wildlife conservation efforts. It serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect these remarkable creatures and preserve our rich cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can explore this extraordinary piece that encapsulates the beauty of European landscapes intertwined with centuries-old traditions.
