Signe Rink

Nathalie Sophia Nielsine Caroline Rink (née Møller; 24 January 1836 – 19 April 1909) was a Danish writer and ethnologist.

[1][2] Born on 24 January 1836 in Paamiut, Nathalie Sophia Nielsine Caroline Møller was the daughter of the Danish colonial administrator Jørgen Nielsen Møller (1801–62) and his wife Antonette Ernestine Constance Tommerup (1813–91).

They associated with people such as the linguist Samuel Kleinschmidt and the educator Carl Janssen who were interested in the Greenlanders and their culture.

They took with them a collection of illustrations of folk tales depicting the everyday lives of native Greenlanders created by Aron of Kangeq in which Signe Rink had taken a special interest.

Aron's watercolours, which also formed an important part of the collection, were rediscovered in 1960 and transferred to the National Museum of Greenland.
