EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Phillip, King of Mount Hope" takes us back to the year 1772 and offers a glimpse into the rich history of Native American culture. The image portrays Phillip, also known as Metacom or King Philip, who was a prominent sachem (chief) of the Wampanoag tribe. Dressed in traditional attire consisting of moccasins and adorned with intricate accessories such as a powder horn and tomahawk, Phillip exudes strength and authority. His regal presence is further emphasized by his confident stance and piercing gaze. The artist skillfully captures not only Phillip's physical features but also his spirit as a leader. This hand-coloured engraving showcases the remarkable attention to detail that brings this historical figure to life. While it is important to acknowledge that this artwork reflects the artistic style prevalent during its time, we must approach it with sensitivity towards its portrayal of indigenous people. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to appreciate diverse cultures while respecting their heritage. Displayed within private collections today, this engraving from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into America's past through art. It invites contemplation on the complex narratives surrounding Native American tribes and their contributions throughout history.
