EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures a powerful and haunting scene from Native American history. Entitled "Native American braves taking the scalps of their enemies" this 19th-century print by German School is part of a private collection. The image depicts a group of Native American warriors, known as braves, engaged in warfare. With knives in hand, they are seen taking the scalps of their fallen enemies. The intensity and brutality of this act are palpable through the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The engraving serves as an educational tool, shedding light on the customs and practices of Native American tribes during that era. It offers insight into their methods of warfare and cultural significance placed upon scalp-taking as a trophy. While it may be uncomfortable for some viewers due to its graphic nature, this artwork provides an opportunity to reflect on the complexities and realities faced by indigenous peoples in North America. It reminds us that history is not always pleasant or easy to confront but is essential for understanding our collective past. As we observe this print, let us remember to approach it with respect and sensitivity towards Native American cultures while acknowledging the importance of learning from our shared history.
