EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1851, where we find ourselves standing in front of the Old Trading House at Traverse des Sioux. The artist, Frank Blackwell Mayer, skillfully captured this momentous piece of history with his pencil on paper. The image showcases a log cabin structure that served as a hub for trade and commerce during an era when Native American Indians played a significant role in shaping North America. The Trading House stands proudly against the backdrop of the Minnesota landscape, its sturdy walls weathered by time. As we examine the details within this sketch, our eyes are drawn to a cart parked outside the trading post. It serves as a reminder of the bustling activity that once took place here - merchants coming from far and wide to exchange goods with local tribes. Mayer's drawing not only captures an exterior view but also offers us a glimpse into life during that period. We can almost imagine hearing conversations between traders and witnessing cultural exchanges between different communities. Preserved by Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this artwork transports us back to an important chapter in American history. It serves as a testament to both Native American heritage and early American settlement efforts. This print is truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
