EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece from "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow transports us to the enchanting world of Native American folklore. Created in 1911 by Wyeth, Newell Convers, this soft-ground etching beautifully captures the essence of Longfellow's epic poem. In this mesmerizing scene, we see a native American Indian gracefully gliding through calm waters in a boat. With his fishing line cast out into the depths below, he patiently waits for his next catch. The tranquil atmosphere is enhanced by the lush greenery surrounding him and the gentle ripples on the water's surface. As we delve deeper into this illustration, we notice intricate details that bring the story to life. A mischievous squirrel perched on a branch adds an element of playfulness to the composition. This harmonious blend of nature and human presence reflects both Longfellow's poetic verse and Wyeth's artistic vision. Through this print, we are transported back in time to North America where ancient tales were passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of our rich literary heritage and cultural diversity. The engraving technique employed by Wyeth adds depth and texture to each stroke, enhancing our appreciation for both his skill as an artist and Longfellow's timeless words. Displayed proudly in a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this piece invites us to immerse ourselves in its beauty while celebrating American literature at its finest.
