EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NATCHEZ: THE GREAT SUN" takes us back to the vibrant world of the Natchez Native Americans in 1758. The image showcases an important moment during a harvest festival, where we witness the grandeur and power of the Great Sun, ruler of the Natchez tribe. In this sketch by Antoine Le Page du Pratz, we see men carrying a sedan chair adorned with intricate designs and symbols representing their rich culture. It is within this majestic vehicle that the Great Sun is transported, symbolizing his elevated status and authority over his people. As autumn leaves fall gently around them, one can almost feel the anticipation and excitement in the air as they make their way through a bustling crowd. The procession captures not only a momentous event but also offers us a glimpse into everyday life for these indigenous communities. The attention to detail in this sketch allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such an elaborate sedan chair and its significance as a mode of transportation for important figures like the Great Sun. This artwork serves as a reminder of our diverse history and invites us to explore and celebrate cultures that have shaped our world today.
