LISORARTUT [caption title of ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPH OF A GREENLANDIC FAMILY SLEDDING AND SKIING]. An attractive image, showing a family of Greenlanders sledding and skiing down a hill, likely produced by Lars Møller, Greenland's premier printer, or by Møller's youngest son, Steffen. The illustration shows a family of seven Greenland natives sledding down a hill, while two other youngsters ski alongside, with one of the skiers in the process of falling. Other winter sports enthusiasts cavort in the distance, and the stark Greenland landscape is ably depicted. Lars Møller, an accomplished printer and illustrator, was the dominant figure in Greenlandic printing in the last quarter of the 19th century, producing much of the printed output in the country. His son, Steffen, succeeded his father and produced impressive works in his own right, including a native language speller, from which this illustration may be an example.
