Laplanders in Traditional Winter Dress – Berghaus Ethnographic Print, 1855
Description:
This antique ethnographic print shows two Laplanders (Sámi people) dressed in traditional winter clothing, standing in a snow-covered landscape with a tent-like structure and birds in the background. The main figure in the foreground is depicted in a vibrant blue tunic with fur-lined cuffs and collar, leggings, and a cap, conveying the practical and distinctive attire of Arctic indigenous peoples. A second, smaller figure, perhaps a child or woman, appears in the distance wearing similarly warm clothing, evoking the harsh climatic conditions of the region.
The print originates from the Dutch edition of the work *“De Volken van den Aardbodem, Hunne Afkomst, Verwantschap en Verspreiding op den Aardbol”* (The Peoples of the Earth, Their Origins, Relationships, and Distribution on the Globe), authored by Dr. Hermann Berghaus and published by G.B. van Goor in Gouda in 1855. This illustrated ethnographic series sought to present an overview of world cultures in both image and text, with a strong focus on national costumes, physical characteristics, and living environments. Berghaus, a renowned German geographer and cartographer, contributed significantly to 19th-century ethnographic and geographic scholarship.
This hand-colored lithograph exemplifies the 19th-century fascination with cataloguing and classifying the world’s peoples, and it reflects a mixture of scientific interest and romanticized portrayal. The Sámi people—indigenous to northern Scandinavia and parts of Russia—were frequently represented in such works as symbols of resilience and isolation in the European imagination.
