EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil sketch transports us back to the year 1851, offering a glimpse into the Traverse des Sioux camp. Created by Frank Blackwell Mayer, this delicate print measures 10.5x18 cm and is housed in the prestigious Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. The scene depicted showcases a bustling Native American encampment amidst the vast landscapes of Minnesota. Tents dot the landscape as families go about their daily activities. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every element of life within the camp - from dogs playfully roaming around to smoke rising from campfires where meals are being prepared. The presence of Native Americans engaged in various tasks adds an authentic touch to this historical artwork. A group can be seen cooking over an open fire while others gather around, perhaps sharing stories or enjoying moments of camaraderie. In one corner, a native man peacefully smokes his pipe, adding an air of tranquility to the scene. Mayer's sketch not only documents a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to Native American culture and their way of life during this era. This print invites viewers to reflect on America's rich history and appreciate its diverse heritage that has shaped our nation today.
