This print captures a glimpse into the historical way of life in Labrador, Canada. The image showcases an Eskimo snow-house at Turnavick, where a small shelter has been meticulously prepared for a team of husky dogs. The traditional sled and huskies are essential components of this scene, highlighting the importance of these animals in transportation and daily life.
The intricate construction of the snow-house is evident as blocks of ice are carefully stacked to create a sturdy and insulated shelter against the harsh winter conditions. The skillful craftsmanship involved in building such structures reflects the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the Inuit people who have inhabited this region for generations.
