EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing an illustration of Lacrosse Players from George Catlin's "Illustrations of the Manners, Customs & Conditions of the North American Indians". Created in London in 1845, this hand-coloured engraving measures 46x58.6 cm and is now part of the Earl of Leicester's collection. The image transports us back to a time when British colonial influence was spreading across America. It depicts men dressed in traditional Native American attire engaging in a game that has deep cultural significance - lacrosse. This tribal sport not only served as entertainment but also played an integral role in their culture. The players' intense focus and determination are palpable as they compete on the field, highlighting their athleticism and skill. The intricate details captured by Catlin bring to life every aspect of this exotic pastime - from the players' costumes to their body language. As we admire this piece, it serves as a reminder of both cultural diversity and historical colonization. It allows us to appreciate Native American traditions while acknowledging how they were impacted by outside influences during this period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable engraving, ensuring that future generations can continue to explore and learn about these fascinating aspects of our shared history.
