EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oglala Chiefs" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Native American tribes. The image showcases a colour lithograph created by an anonymous American artist after an original illustration by Garrick Mallery. It was featured in an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians, published in the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. The print depicts several Oglala chiefs, their faces adorned with intricate tribal markings and headdresses symbolizing their leadership roles within their community. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported to a time when indigenous peoples relied on pictograms and picture writing as forms of communication and historical documentation. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to ethnographic studies and anthropological research. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding North American native cultures during that era. As we observe these proud chieftains captured through engravings, we gain insight into the social structure, traditions, and customs prevalent among Native Americans at that time. This print is a testament to the resilience and cultural heritage of these indigenous peoples who have shaped America's history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from their extensive collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while honoring the legacy it represents.
