1855 Feathers Hiawatha Longfellow
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Hiawatha, the legendary hero of the Ojibwe people, was created in 1855 by an unknown artist, making it one of the earliest known visual representations of this iconic figure. The image, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Native American hero as depicted in the popular 19th-century poem "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The portrait shows Hiawatha in traditional Native American attire, adorned with intricately woven feathers and a headband. He gazes intently into the distance, exuding a sense of wisdom and strength. The background is simple, with a few books and natural elements, such as a tree and a bird, suggesting the connection between Hiawatha's story and the natural world. Longfellow's epic poem, published in 1855, brought the story of Hiawatha to a wider audience and helped to popularize the legend. The poem tells the tale of Hiawatha, a mythical hero who lived among the Ojibwe people in what is now the Great Lakes region of North America. The story includes elements of creation, love, and adventure, and has been celebrated as an important work of American literature. This portrait offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and culture of the Ojibwe people and the enduring legacy of Hiawatha's story. The image is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of myths and legends, which continue to inspire and captivate us today.
