EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving from 1870, titled "NATIVE AMERICANS: GAMBLING" captures a dramatic scene of Native Americans gambling for the possession of a captive female settler. The image, created by William de la Montagne Cary and reproduced as a print, depicts a pivotal moment in American history during the era of westward expansion. In this gripping portrayal, we see Native American men gathered around a makeshift gambling table, their faces filled with anticipation and determination. The atmosphere is tense as they wager for ownership of the young white woman who stands at the center of attention. Dressed in buckskin clothing and adorned with feathers, these indigenous individuals are depicted with great detail and respect. The image serves as a reminder of the complex interactions between Native Americans and settlers during this time period. It highlights both cultural differences and conflicts that arose from territorial disputes. The presence of an armed frontiersman nearby suggests potential violence or intervention. As viewers contemplate this wood engraving's historical significance, it prompts reflection on themes such as power dynamics, captivity narratives, and the impact of westward expansion on indigenous communities. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to delve deeper into America's past while acknowledging its complexities and diverse perspectives.
