The history of Lapland, wherein are shewed the original, manners, habits, marriages, conjurations, &c. of that people
A 1674 Oxford printing of Johannes Scheffer's account of the Sami people of Lapland, translated into English by Acton Cremer, written for a learned English readership interested in the customs and beliefs of northern peoples. Its woodcut illustrations are small, plain line drawings of everyday Sami life, such as a figure seated at a table, a crowded oval diagram of camp activity, a man playing a pipe or flute, and dwellings like a raised log store beside a conical tent, useful to a designer for simple, schematic depictions of northern domestic scenes.
