EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a mystical Lapland ceremony in 1682. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of a Laplander performing an enchanting magic drum posture, as he gently places it on the ground with utmost reverence. Titled "Tover Drum" and found on the top right corner, this print is part of the First Book folio 87, which explores Europeans' encounters with magical healings in Lapland. The artist behind this remarkable etching is Jan Luyken, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Luyken's attention to detail brings every element of this ceremonial moment to life - from the intricate patterns on the Laplander's traditional attire to the ethereal aura surrounding him. Amsterdam serves as both the birthplace of this artwork and its subject matter, as it captures an authentic representation of Lapland culture during that era. Printed on paper measuring 169 mm in height and 131 mm in width, this piece invites viewers into a world where ancient rituals intertwine with spiritual beliefs. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a time when mystery and wonder were woven into everyday life. It reminds us that even today, there are still countless secrets waiting to be discovered within different cultures around our diverse world.
