EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment at Fort McKenzie on August 28th, 1833. Engraved by Manceau & Hurliman and published in 1842, this aquatint by Karl Bodmer measures 44x60 cm and is currently housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. The image depicts a dramatic scene from Prince Maximilian of Wied's Travels in the Interior of North America. In this particular event, a group of Assiniboine and Cree Indians launch an attack on a Blackfeet encampment at Fort McKenzie. The clash between these tribes is vividly portrayed through their traditional costumes and fierce expressions. The composition showcases the intensity of the fight as teepees stand tall in the background. The confrontation between these Native American tribes highlights both their cultural differences and conflicts over territory. Bodmer's skillful rendering brings to life this historical battle, capturing every detail with precision. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by indigenous peoples during America's westward expansion. Displayed proudly within the Newberry Library, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our nation's complex history while appreciating Bodmer's artistic talent. It stands as a testament to both Native American resilience and cultural diversity that continues to shape our understanding of North America today.
