Eskimo / Inuit Halftone Collection (1916)

A collection from 1916 of historic ethnological halftone prints and in-text wood engravings of the cultural artifacts -- clothing, tools, domestic objects, body art, etc. of the Eskimo or Inuit -- the indigenous peoples of Canada, northern Alaska and Greenland.

The images captured for this collection were the result of a trip in 1914 to the coasts of Labrador, for the Geological Survey of Canada. The goal for the author curating the images was to cover as much territory as possible in order to get a comprehensive view of the culture of the Eskimo spanning the entire coast of the Labrador peninsula. Most of the ethnological divisions of the Eskimo are geographical rather than cultural.
