EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battle of Little Big Horn - Custers Dead Cavalry" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image, a colour lithograph created by the American School in the 19th century, depicts the aftermath of the infamous Battle of Little Big Horn. The scene is hauntingly powerful, showcasing the devastating consequences of this clash between General Custer's cavalry and Native American tribes. Strewn across the battlefield are fallen soldiers, both Native Americans and members of the United States Army. Their lifeless bodies serve as a poignant reminder of the high cost paid during this fierce confrontation. The print was originally featured in an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery, published in 1888-89. It offers viewers a glimpse into ethnographic and social aspects surrounding this historical event. With its intricate details and masterful execution, this engraving captures not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried within each corpse. It serves as a testament to both sides' bravery and sacrifice during one of America's most significant battles. As we observe this piece from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1876 when George Armstrong Custer met his demise at Little Big Horn. This artwork stands as a solemn tribute to all those who lost their lives on that battlefield—a somber reminder etched forever into our collective memory.
