EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph showcases John Ridge, a prominent Cherokee Native American leader from the early 19th century. Created in 1836 by an unknown artist after a painting done in 1825 by Charles Bird King, this portrait captures the essence of Ridge's leadership and influence within the Cherokee community. Seated at his desk, Ridge is depicted wearing traditional Cherokee attire with a fashionable collar and lapel. His dignified posture exudes confidence and intelligence as he engages in writing using a quill pen on paper. The image beautifully portrays his acculturation into both Native American and American societies. Ridge's role as a leader during this tumultuous period was significant. He played an instrumental part in negotiating treaties between the United States government and the Cherokee Nation, advocating for their rights while navigating complex political landscapes. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of Ridge's legacy as well as the struggles faced by Native Americans during this era of forced assimilation. It stands as a testament to his determination to protect his people's interests while embracing aspects of Western culture. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also delve into historical narratives that shaped America's indigenous communities.
