Kalâdlit assilialiait - Grønlandske træsnit.
The title in the Kalâtdlisut dialect of the Greenland Eskimo language and in Danish; introductory text in Danish; some illustration captions in Kalâtdlisut. The woodcuts, numbered 1-39 and one unnumbered at the end, were drawn and cut by Greenlanders. Nos. 1-9 deal with the social life and customs of the Eskimos, nos. 10-39 with their legends and folk-lore. The book is the result of an experiment conducted by Hinrich Rink (1819-1893), crown inspector for southern Greenland. Many of the illustrations were done by Aron of Kangeq (Âlut Kangermio, 1822-1869), whose initials appear in the book. Rasmus Berthelsen's (1827-1901) initials also appear in the book. Some of the illustrations also appeared in Grönlandske folkesagn.
Photocopy from the original edition from 1860.
