First appearance of the scientific report from the famous Danish “Konebaads”-Expedition of 1883-1885 which explored the east coast of Greenland from Nanortalik to Angmagssalik, using 'women's boats' or umiaks, under the command of Gustav Holm, who made extensive collections of ethnographic objects of which many are depicted in colour-plates here – the collection he brought home now form the core collection of the East-Greenlandic department in the Danish National Museum. It is considered of the most important achievements in the exploration of Greenland. The results of the expedition were numerous both from a geographical and an ethnological point of view, not to speak of the negative, yet highly important, result that no Norse ruins had been found, thus definitely establishing the position of the Eastern Settlement on the west coast. The reports were published in Danish with French summaries in Vol. IX and X of the Meddelelser om Grønland (offered here) as well as an official account and a scientific report of the geographical conditions of the coast traversed by the expedition (Beretning om Konebaads-Expeditionen til Grønlands Østkyst 1883-85 and Om de geografiske Forhold i Dansk Øst-Grønland )" with Johan Petersen he published a collection of myths and legends from Angmagssalik ( Sagn og Fortaellinger fra Angmagsalik ). His most important contribution was, however, the Ethnologisk Skizze af Angmagsalikerne , i.e., ""Ethnological Sketch of the Angmagssalik Eskimo."" The last two works were later translated into English and published in Meddelelser om Grønland , Vol. XXXIX. The Ethnolgical Sketch gives an accurate and full description of the life and culture of the Angmagssalik natives. Holm's work are the first modern and fully scientific accounts of any Eskimo group and thus epoch-making in Eskimo research. Holm's painstaking observationsmake his work one of the classics of ethnology.
