EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure, Metacomet (c1639-1676), also known as King Philip or Metacom. As the Chief of the Wampanoag Native Americans, he played a significant role in shaping early American history. The image captures a pivotal moment in time - the death of Metacomet on 12 August 1676 near Bristol, Rhode Island. The wood engraving from 1827 beautifully depicts this tragic event with intricate details and skilled artistry. It portrays Metacomet as a proud and noble leader, adorned in traditional buckskin attire, symbolizing his warrior status. In contrast to his regal presence, there is an air of smoke surrounding him, signifying the turmoil and violence that surrounded his final moments. Metacomet's story is one of resistance against colonial encroachment into Native American lands. His alliance with other tribes like Narragansett and Nipmuck sparked a rebellion against English colonists in New England during this period. This wood engraving serves as both a visual representation and historical documentation of these tumultuous times. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the complex dynamics between indigenous peoples and European settlers during America's early years. It invites us to reflect upon the struggles faced by Native Americans fighting for their land and way of life amidst colonization.
