Portrait of Abraham Ulrikab

Abraham Ulrikab and his family were recruited by Johan Adrian Jacobsen for an ethnological exposition of the Hagenbeck company in Hebron, Labrador in 1880. During their tour he kept a diary which is the only account of an ethnological exposition written by a participant. Like their companions, Ulrikab and his family died of smallpox. The organisers’ had failed to provide the necessary vaccinations.
