EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "And her lovers, the rejected" we are transported to a scene filled with intrigue and longing. The image beautifully captures the essence of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem, "The Song of Hiawatha". Painted by Frederic Remington in 1911, it showcases a group of handsome men adorned with vibrant paint and feathers. As we delve into the narrative, we discover that these men are suitors vying for the affection of Oweenee, who has spurned their advances. Each suitor represents an aspect of Native American culture and tradition, depicted through their elaborate attire and tepees in the background. Their rejection is palpable as they gather together in contemplation. Remington's lithograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Longfellow's verse while adding his own artistic flair. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and feather meticulously placed on each suitor's headdress. This print serves as a visual testament to both Longfellow's literary genius and Remington's artistic prowess. Displayed within this private collection from The Stapleton Collection, this piece invites us to reflect upon themes such as unrequited love, cultural identity, and resilience.

This striking engraving from Bridgeman Images not only celebrates American literature but also pays homage to Native Americans' rich heritage—a timeless reminder of our collective past that
