EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history, depicting the Iroquois tribe attacking French missionary Isaac Jogues and his Christian converts in 1642. The vivid colors of this lithograph by Henry Sandham bring to life the intensity and chaos of the scene. In this historical illustration from "Peeps at History: Canada" by Beatrice Home, we witness the clash between two worlds - North American natives and French settlers. The image showcases a river setting with reeds swaying in the wind as canoes navigate through its waters. The Iroquois warriors, known for their fierce reputation, launch a brutal assault on Jogues and his followers. The significance of this event lies not only in its portrayal of violence but also in its exploration of religion. As Christianity spread across North America during the 17th century, missionaries like Jogues faced immense challenges while trying to convert indigenous populations. This particular encounter with the Iroquois highlights both cultural clashes and religious conflicts that shaped early Canadian history. Through this powerful artwork, we are reminded of the complexities inherent in colonization and religious expansion. It serves as a visual reminder of how different cultures collided during this time period within what is now known as Canada. Sandham's lithograph allows us to reflect upon these historical events while appreciating his artistic talent for capturing such an intense moment with striking detail.
