EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tableau 46. Stomick-Sosack / Ninoch-Kiaui / Homach-Koachkum" takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Native American chiefs. Created by Karl Bodmer between 1836 and 1843, this copperplate engraving on paper showcases his remarkable talent for capturing the essence and dignity of these tribal leaders. In this particular tableau, we are introduced to three influential figures: Stomick-Sosack, Ninoch-Kiaui, and Homach-Koachkum. Stomick-Sosack is depicted on the left side of the image, known also as "Bull's Hide" or "Buffalo Bull's Back Fat". His striking presence is enhanced by his attire - a red cloth shirt adorned with painted hide embellished with long strands of dyed human or horse hair. A peace medal hangs gracefully from a beaded cord around his neck. The attention to detail in Bodmer's work transports us back in time to Fort McKenzie during late summer in 1833 when he painted these portraits. The authenticity shines through as we observe each chief's unique features and regalia. Through this exquisite aquatint reproduction brought to life by Alecto Historical Editions, we can appreciate not only Bodmer's artistic prowess but also gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and strength amidst challenging times. This historical piece offers an opportunity for reflection upon our shared history while honoring the legacy of those who came before us.
