This vibrant and captivating front cover for "Oh that Navajo Rag" immediately transports us back to the early 20th century. Created by the American School, this colour lithograph showcases a mesmerizing scene filled with Native American Indian dancers adorned in feathered headdresses. The composition exudes energy and rhythm, perfectly capturing the essence of ragtime and jazz music. The dynamic figures seem to move effortlessly across the page, their graceful movements echoing the lively tune composed by Egbert Van Alstyne. With lyrics penned by Harry H. Williams, this piece becomes not just a visual delight but also an auditory experience. As we gaze at this print housed in the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans and their contributions to music and dance.
