EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the commencement of an epic battle that even the mighty sun had never before witnessed. Inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem "The Song of Hiawatha" this powerful image transports us to a time when warriors from North America clashed in a fierce confrontation. As our eyes delve into the scene, we are drawn to Pearl Feather, a brave and valiant warrior adorned with feathers symbolizing his strength and courage. Alongside him stands Hiawatha, an iconic figure in Native American literature. Together, they prepare to face their formidable opponent Megissogwon, whose imposing presence exudes both menace and determination. Every detail in this lithographic masterpiece by Frederic Remington is meticulously crafted - from the intricate engravings on each warrior's armor to the intensity etched upon their faces. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical clash between these warriors but also conveys the emotional turmoil that accompanies such battles. This artwork serves as a testament to both historical conflicts and literary brilliance. It encapsulates the spirit of bravery and resilience exhibited by Native Americans throughout history while paying homage to Longfellow's timeless verse. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, let us reflect on how it immortalizes an era where honor was earned through combat and valor knew no bounds. May it inspire us all to confront our own battles with unwavering determination and indomitable spirit.
