EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Little Crow, 1851" by Frank Blackwell Mayer takes us back in time to the era of Sioux Indian culture and traditions. The pencil sketch showcases the incredible attention to detail and skill of the artist as he captures the essence of Little Crow, a prominent chief during the 1851 treaty negotiations at Traverse des Sioux and Mendota. Seated cross-legged with crossed legs, Little Crow exudes an air of wisdom and authority. His traditional Native American dress adorned with feathered headdress reflects his status as a respected leader within his community. The intricate feather work on his headdress is particularly striking, showcasing both artistic craftsmanship and cultural significance. In this intimate study, Mayer focuses on capturing not only Little Crow's physical appearance but also his character. The chief holds a pipe instrument in one hand, symbolizing peace and unity among tribes. Through this drawing, we catch a glimpse into the rich heritage and customs of the Sioux people. Preserved within the Frank B. Mayer collection at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this artwork serves as an invaluable historical record that allows us to connect with our past. It reminds us of the importance of honoring indigenous cultures while appreciating their contributions to our shared history.
