EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In the image, titled "Long sat waiting for an answer" we see the protagonist Hiawatha patiently seated in his canoe on a serene river. The scene is beautifully depicted through a lithograph created by Frederic Remington in 1911. Hiawatha's stoic presence is highlighted as he waits expectantly for an answer, perhaps seeking guidance or wisdom from the natural world around him. His connection to nature is evident not only through his surroundings but also through his fishing line, symbolizing both sustenance and spiritual harmony. Remington's attention to detail brings this Native American legend to life, showcasing the beauty of North America's landscapes and its indigenous peoples' deep reverence for their environment. Through this engraving, we are transported into the realm of literature where verse meets artistry. Published by George G. Harrap & Company Ltd. , this timeless piece has found its place within private collections, including The Stapleton Collection. As part of American literary history, it reminds us of Longfellow's contribution to poetry and storytelling in the United States. This print serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and culture while capturing profound moments that resonate with audiences across generations.
