EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures the essence of Native American culture in the 19th century. Titled "An Ogalala Roster - Has-A-War-Club and Band" this print showcases a fascinating blend of art, symbolism, and history. The image depicts an Ogalala roster, or list, accompanied by a warrior holding a war club and surrounded by various animals and symbols. These pictograms were used as a form of communication among North American Indian tribes during that time period. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this lithograph is based on an article written by Garrick Mallery about Pictographs of the North American Indians. It was originally published in the Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1882-83. The intricate engravings showcase not only artistic skill but also provide valuable insights into tribal social structures and historical events. The use of animal figures further emphasizes their significance within Native American cultures. This print serves as a powerful reminder of indigenous peoples' rich heritage and their unique forms of communication. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past while appreciating its diverse cultural tapestry. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore history through artistry, making it both visually striking and intellectually stimulating for enthusiasts interested in anthropology or Native American studies.
