EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored etching titled "A scene on the frontiers as practiced by the humane British and their worthy allies, c. 1813" captures a vivid portrayal of violence and conflict during colonial times. The image, created by an anonymous American School artist in the 19th century, measures 23.4x34.1 cm and is housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. In this satirical political cartoon, we witness a chaotic scene unfolding on the frontiers between British colonizers and Native Americans. A male soldier dressed in a military uniform represents the British forces while North American Indians are depicted as their allies or adversaries. The disturbing nature of this artwork becomes apparent as we notice a lifeless corpse lying on the ground with its scalp removed—a brutal act known as scalping which was prevalent during that era. This caricature serves to criticize both sides involved in these violent encounters. Through this engraving, we gain insight into historical events characterized by aggression and bloodshed that shaped early colonial America. It also highlights how satire was used to comment on such conflicts during that time period. Bridgeman Images has provided us with access to this thought-provoking print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of the American Antiquarian Society.
