EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment in history - the Horse Racing of Sioux Indians near Fort Pierre in 1843. The artwork, created by Du Casse and Doherty, is part of the renowned Travels in the Interior of North America collection from the 19th century. In this vibrant aquatint piece, we witness a colorful spectacle unfolding on the plains of South Dakota. Native American riders, adorned with traditional attire and displaying exceptional horsemanship skills, compete fiercely in an exhilarating horse race. The image showcases their bravery and deep connection with these magnificent animals. Karl Bodmer's masterful use of color brings to life every detail of this scene - from the spirited horses galloping across the open country to the determined expressions on each rider's face. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of Native American culture. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into both past traditions and breathtaking landscapes that once defined America's Great Plains region. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and honors those who have shaped our nation's history through their unique customs and unwavering spirit.
