"The Last of His Race: A Glimpse into the Vanishing American" In 1908, an oil painting on composition board titled "The Last of His Race" captured the essence of a fading era. This poignant artwork by an unknown artist serves as a reminder of the North American Indian's struggle for survival and their diminishing presence in modern society. Delving deeper into history, we uncover a treasure trove of original artwork by Waldeck depicting Mesoamerica. Box 1 reveals stunning prints from 1831 that transport us back to a time when civilizations thrived in this ancient land. Box 5 showcases more prints, each brushstroke capturing the intricate beauty and cultural richness that once flourished there. Among these captivating images lies "Portrait of Black Hawk and Na-Be-Ghi-Zeik, " showcasing two prominent figures who left an indelible mark on Native American history. Their faces tell stories of resilience, strength, and determination against all odds. As we journey further through Waldeck's collection in Box 9 and Box 10, we witness scenes that evoke both awe and curiosity. Leaving home for the Carlisle Indian School is depicted in vibrant chromolitho colors from 1911—an image that encapsulates both hope for education but also loss as indigenous children were separated from their families. Venturing beyond Mesoamerica, we encounter goddess Teoyaomqui alongside a porphyry sacrificial stone—a watercolor masterpiece dating back to c. 1843-50. The divinity portrayed here reflects the deep spiritual connection between indigenous peoples and their sacred rituals. Another watercolor transports us to Maya civilization—a depiction of a revered priest or hero whose identity remains shrouded in mystery even today. These artworks offer glimpses into forgotten worlds where myth intertwines with reality. Yet amidst these tales from distant lands lies another narrative—Mexican Indians adorned in holiday dress during c. 1843-50.
