EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Peruvian Quipu and Birch Bark Drawing, capturing the essence of American Indian picture-writing. The lithograph, created by the American School in the 19th century, is an illustration for an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery. The image depicts intricate knots and cords, known as quipus, which were used by indigenous peoples to record information. These talking knots served as a form of communication and social recording among Native Americans during that time period. The inclusion of birch bark adds another layer of historical significance to this artwork. Birch bark was commonly used by Native Americans for various purposes such as making canoes or creating drawings like these. It symbolizes their deep connection with nature and their resourcefulness in utilizing natural materials. Through this lithograph, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North and South American native tribes. The figures depicted here are not mere engravings but rather pictograms representing ideas and concepts unique to these indigenous communities. This print serves as a valuable anthropological artifact that sheds light on the history and communication methods employed by early inhabitants of America. It reminds us to appreciate the diverse traditions and knowledge systems that have shaped our world today.
