EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Distinguished Ball Player, 1841" captures the essence of a Choctaw lacrosse player in all his glory. Created by Myers and Co in collaboration with renowned artist George Catlin, this artwork is part of the collection "Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians". In this portrait from the 19th century, we witness a proud Native American man dressed in traditional attire. Holding his lacrosse stick firmly, he exudes strength and skill as he prepares for an intense game. Lacrosse was not just a sport for him; it represented his heritage and cultural identity. The image transports us back to a time when ball games were more than mere pastimes; they were deeply ingrained in Native American culture. This particular player's determination is palpable through his focused gaze and confident stance. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of the rich diversity that exists within our country's past. The choctaw player serves as a symbol of resilience and pride for indigenous communities across America. Let this photograph be a testament to their enduring spirit while also honoring George Catlin's dedication to preserving these invaluable glimpses into Native American life.
