EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tableau 17 from Karl Bodmer's renowned series "Bodmer's America" created between 1836 and 1843. The tableau features a copperplate engraving on paper, measuring 53x41 cm, and is part of the Alecto Historical Editions collection in London, UK. The focal point of this tableau is Pehriska-Ruhpa, also known as Two Ravens, a Minataree or big-bellied Indian. In this artwork, he adorns himself with the vibrant dance regalia of the Minitari or Hidatsa Dog Society. This portrayal highlights the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Native American indigenous peoples. Interestingly, both watercolor portraits of Pehriska-Ruhpa found in the Joslyn collection were reproduced in this European atlas. Notably, George Catlin also painted a portrait of Pehriska Ruhpa and his wife for his North American Indian Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , further emphasizing their significance within Native American history. The intricate details captured by Bodmer's engraving technique bring to life the essence and spirit of Pehriska-Ruhpa. The colors used enhance every aspect of this remarkable piece - from his regalia to his expression - creating an immersive visual experience for viewers. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from the early nineteenth century, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever through Bodmer's skilled craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical documentation that continues to captivate audiences today.
