EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman of the Snake-Tribe, Woman of the Cree-Tribe" captures a mesmerizing portrait of two Plains Indian women. The woman from the Snake Tribe stands on the left, adorned in a hide dress with delicate fringe and wrapped in a vibrant purple cloth blanket. On her face, she wears an expression that exudes strength and resilience. On the right stands the Cree woman, radiating elegance and cultural richness. She dons an elk hide dress paired with a trade blanket, showcasing her deep connection to nature and tradition. Her face is embellished with striking red paint, accentuating her features even further. Elaborate earrings crafted from dentalium shells and blue beads gracefully dangle from her ears, enhancing her beauty. Both women's hair is meticulously braided, symbolizing their heritage and identity within their respective tribes. Their presence emanates gracefulness as they stand confidently before us. Commissioned by Maximilian Prince of Wied in 1836 for his atlas documenting their North American travels, this artwork was skillfully created by Karl Bodmer. Through his illustrations captured on 81 plates of aquatints, he immortalized these remarkable individuals' stories for generations to come. Displayed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois USA; this print allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the rich cultural diversity present among Native American tribes during this period in history.
