| Popis: | The photograph depicts an indigenous Greenlandic seal hunter and member of the Inuit people. The picture was taken by a fellow Inuk named John Møller (1867–1935). With the photographic practices that he had learned from the Danish and the technology provided by the Danish colonial administration of Greenland, Møller created a ‘photographic memory’ of the Greenlandic Inuit and a rare insight into the lives of an Arctic indigenous people at the turn of the twentieth century. |
