EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Canada circa 1770, where Native American tribesmen are engaged in the age-old practice of hunting beavers. The image showcases a medium-sized group of men, armed with rifles and bows and arrows, strategically positioned near a cross-section of the beaver dam. Outdoors on a bright day, these skilled hunters demonstrate their prowess as they aim at their targets. The photograph captures the essence of North American tribal culture during this era, highlighting the resourcefulness and connection to nature that defined these indigenous communities. With intense focus, they take down these industrious animals for sustenance and materials essential for survival. The composition is strikingly detailed; every line etched into this engraving from Middleton's complete system of Geography in 1778 tells a story. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the significance of each element present - from the hunter's weapons to the lifeless beavers strewn across the riverbank. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into an important aspect of Native American life - their harmonious relationship with nature. This powerful visual narrative invites contemplation about our own connection with wildlife and how it has evolved over centuries.
