This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Hunting the buffalo, 1848" transports us back to a bygone era of American history. Created by Thomas Loraine McKenney and James Hall for their renowned publication "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" this print captures a pivotal moment in Native American culture. The scene unfolds on the vast plains of North America, where a skilled huntsman on horseback dons traditional attire as he embarks on an exhilarating pursuit. With bow and arrow in hand, he joins fellow riders in chasing down a thundering herd of majestic bison. The landscape stretches endlessly before them, painted with hues that evoke both serenity and anticipation. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the deep connection between these indigenous peoples and their natural surroundings. The hunt was not merely a means for survival but also an integral part of their cultural identity—a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience. Through meticulous engraving techniques and delicate hand-colouring, McKenney brings this historical moment to life with remarkable detail. Each stroke captures the intensity and excitement that permeated these hunting expeditions—an adrenaline-fueled dance between man and beast. Preserved within the Newberry Library's collection in Chicago, Illinois, this print serves as a visual time capsule—a window into an era when Native Americans roamed freely across untamed lands. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant tribute to the rich heritage of North America's first
