EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Great Hawk"and Small Mormon" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans in the United States. Created by Arthur Boyd Houghton, this engraving was originally published in The Graphic on September 9,1871. The artwork showcases two figures from different tribes engaging in an intimate conversation against a backdrop of majestic landscapes. "Great Hawk" with his regal presence and striking headdress, represents strength and wisdom. His eyes seem to hold ancient secrets as he engages with "Small Mormon" a member of another tribe characterized by their distinctive attire. Houghton's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique, capturing intricate patterns on their garments and meticulously rendering the natural surroundings. This print transports us back to a time when Native American cultures thrived across vast territories. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are reminded of the importance of preserving indigenous traditions and honoring their contributions to our shared history. It serves as a poignant reminder that diversity enriches our world and should be celebrated. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire curiosity about Native American culture while serving as a testament to Houghton's artistic prowess.
