EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Indian scalping his dead enemy" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into a tumultuous era in American history. The print showcases an intense scene of conflict between two Native Americans, with one triumphantly scalping his fallen foe. The artist from the English School masterfully captures the raw emotions and brutality of this act. The intricate details bring to life the intensity of the moment - from the expressions on their faces to every strand of hair on their heads. It is a haunting reminder of the violence that was often present during this period. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for Edwin Hopper's book, "The World its Cities and Peoples". Its inclusion in this publication suggests that it aimed to provide readers with insights into different cultures around the world, including those found within America's indigenous communities. While this image may be unsettling for some viewers due to its graphic nature, it serves as a powerful historical artifact. It reminds us of both our nation's complex past and our responsibility to learn from it. As we reflect upon this print, let us strive for understanding and empathy towards all peoples who have shaped our shared history on these lands.
