EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Chief Joseph, a prominent Native American chief of the Nez Perce tribe. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when U. S. Army forces mercilessly fired upon Chief Joseph's camp in October 1877, just before his eventual capture. This wood engraving, created by an American artist in the same year, vividly depicts the intense conflict between the indigenous people and the encroaching settlers. In this powerful scene, we witness Chief Joseph as he valiantly leads his people amidst chaos and danger. Mounted on horseback, he exudes strength and resilience while facing off against an overwhelming cavalry force. The engraving skillfully portrays the warrior spirit that defined Chief Joseph and his tribe during this tumultuous period of Westward expansion. This historical artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by Native Americans during their fight for survival and preservation of their ancestral lands. It symbolizes both the bravery of Chief Joseph and his people as well as the tragic consequences they endured at the hands of military aggression. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into a critical chapter in American history – one that should be remembered with empathy and respect for those who fought to protect their way of life against seemingly insurmountable odds.
