EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print showcases an iconic moment in history, capturing the essence of exploration and cultural exchange. In this image titled "EXPL2A-00194", we witness Father Jacques Marquette extending a peace pipe to Native Americans during his monumental journey to the upper Mississippi River in 1673. Father Marquette, a Jesuit missionary from French Canada, embarked on this historic expedition alongside Louis Joliette. As they traveled through Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and beyond, their mission was twofold: to explore new territories and establish trade relations with Native American tribes. In this illustration dating back to the 19th century, we see Father Marquette holding out the calumet or peace pipe as a symbol of friendship and goodwill towards the Amerindian people he encountered along his voyage. This gesture represents not only his respect for their customs but also his desire for peaceful interactions. The image beautifully captures the spirit of adventure and discovery that defined early explorations in North America. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights the significant role played by individuals like Father Jacques Marquette in bridging cultures during this era. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, it transports us back to a time when boundaries were being pushed and connections were being forged across continents—a testament to human curiosity and the power of unity amidst diversity.
