EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indiens Scalpeurs" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by the French School. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the Journal Des Voyages on September 30,1877. Look and Learn has graciously shared this exciting piece with us. The scene depicted in this engraving evokes a sense of violence and adventure as Native American warriors engage in scalping their victims. With knives held high, these brave explorers from different tribes embark on a voyage filled with danger and excitement. The dramatic composition captures the intensity of this dark practice that was prevalent during those times. It serves as a reminder of the clashes between indigenous peoples and settlers in what would become known as the United States of America. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to North America's western hemisphere, where exploration and conquest shaped its history. The bravery displayed by these native warriors reflects their determination to defend their lands against encroachment. While acknowledging the historical significance portrayed here, it is important to approach such images with sensitivity towards Native American cultures today. This artwork offers us an opportunity for reflection on our past while reminding us of our responsibility to honor diverse perspectives within contemporary society.
