EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Human Face" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native American tribes in North America. The engraving, created by an anonymous American artist, showcases various facial features and expressions that reflect the diversity within these indigenous communities. The image is part of an article on Art in Shell of the Ancient Americans by William H Holmes, featured in the Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. It highlights different locations such as McMahan and Brakebill in Tennessee, Lick Creek Mound in Virginia, and Acquia Creek. These places hold historical significance for their connection to ancient tribal societies. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the importance placed on preserving history and understanding our roots. The intricate engravings serve as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression across time. As we observe each face depicted with precision and care, it becomes evident that this artwork seeks to honor Native American peoples while shedding light on their social structures and customs. It serves as a valuable resource for anthropologists studying ethnography during that era. "The Human Face" invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its contribution towards acknowledging and celebrating indigenous cultures throughout North America's history.
