Légende

Lord Lonsdale's travels in the Arctic regions of North America: Esquimaux of Alaska, 1890. 'The enterprising and courageous performance of the Earl of Lonsdale in travelling northward, from the Saskatchewan River of the Great Western Territory of Canada to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, and thence crossing Alaska westward to the North Pacific...has excited much attention...Few people, except some officers of the Hudson Bay Company and of the Alaska Fur Company, have made acquaintance with those desolate regions...It was on Feb. 22, 1888, that his Lordship left England for Canada, determined to travel as far as he could overland in the Far West of the American continent, as well as to shoot a musk ox and a white bear in the most distant haunts of those animals..."These Esquimaux of the Yucon, in Alaska, are of a totally different type from those of the Mackenzie; their stature is very small. One of my guides is represented in a photograph".' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
