EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Chief of the Savages Dressed as a European, a Child and a Savage Scalping his Enemy" takes us back to 1787 when it was created by Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. The image is part of the Tableau Cosmographique de l Amerique collection and can be found in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. In this intriguing composition, we witness an extraordinary scene that challenges our preconceived notions about culture and identity. The central figure portrays the chief of a Native American tribe dressed as a European; he stands tall with an axe in one hand and a sword in the other. His attire includes both traditional tribal markings and elements reminiscent of European clothing such as a cloak, jacket, and hat. Beside him stands an innocent child who gazes up at him with curiosity mixed with admiration. This juxtaposition highlights the intergenerational exchange between cultures during this period of history. However, what truly captures our attention is the savage act taking place before our eyes – another warrior scalping his enemy. This brutal display serves as a stark reminder of the violent conflicts that often characterized interactions between different tribes or nations. Through this engraving, Grasset de Saint-Sauveur invites us to reflect on themes such as cultural assimilation, power dynamics between civilizations, and human nature itself. It prompts us to question how appearances can deceive or shape perceptions while reminding us that beneath external differences
