Eskimo folk-tales

Rasmussen, Knud, 1879-1933 · 1921 · London, Copenhagen [etc.] Gyldendal · 7 pictures

Eskimo folk-tales is a 1921 collection of Inuit folklore from Greenland, gathered and written by Knud Rasmussen and published in London and Copenhagen by Gyldendal for general readers. Its pencil-and-lithograph style drawings are loose, grainy and sideways-rotated, with dense hatching, stony textures and stark figures a designer could borrow for dark, rough-edged narrative art.
