EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oglala sub-chiefs" captures the essence of Native American culture in the 19th century. The image showcases a vibrant colour lithograph depicting Oglala sub-chiefs, offering a glimpse into their social and historical significance. The artwork is an illustration for an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery, featured in the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1888-89. It beautifully combines elements such as pictograms, ideograms, and pictographs to communicate complex ideas and stories. The engraving showcases various birds and animals alongside these sub-chiefs, symbolizing their connection with nature and highlighting their role as protectors within their community. This visual representation provides valuable insights into indigenous communication methods during that time period. As we delve deeper into this piece, we are transported back to a time when North America was still being explored and understood by European settlers. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that existed long before colonization took place. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain a greater appreciation for Native American history and its profound impact on shaping our understanding of America's past. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to celebrate diversity while acknowledging our shared humanity across different cultures and continents.
