EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a poignant moment in American history. The image depicts a Sioux family embarking on a ceremonial dance, their horses adorned with vibrant feathers and intricate beadwork. Riding through the vast landscapes of Wyoming or Montana, they utilize a travois - a traditional Native American device - to carry extra belongings. The illustration by Frederic Remington beautifully portrays the resilience and resourcefulness of this indigenous family as they traverse the rugged terrain of the West. The children ride alongside their parents on horseback, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. A loyal dog faithfully follows them, adding an element of companionship to this scene. This vintage artwork transports us to an era when Native Americans roamed freely across North America's plains and mountains. It serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and their rich cultural heritage. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the challenges faced by these communities during that time period – from forced removals to reservations – yet it also showcases their strength and determination in preserving their way of life against all odds. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this historic illustration captures both the beauty of Native American culture and the untamed spirit of America's frontier days.
