EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PICTORGRAPHIC LETTER, c1877" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a pictographic letter sent to Minimic (or Eagles Head), a Southern Cheyenne prisoner at Fort Marion in St. Augustine, Florida, from his wife. In an era when illiteracy was prevalent among Native American communities, pictographs served as the means of communication for those who couldn't read or write. The picture depicts intricate drawings representing various aspects of Minimic's family and their lives. From birds soaring high above to cattle grazing peacefully on the plains, every element tells a story. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Cheyenne culture with images of tipis and men hunting while women tend to children. This visual message not only relays important news but also serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity of indigenous people during challenging times. It reminds us that even without written words, human connection can transcend barriers through art and symbols. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1877, we are transported into another world where communication took on different forms. This photograph is part of the Carousel Collection by The Granger Collection - an invaluable glimpse into America's past and its diverse cultures that continue to shape our present-day society.
