EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored lithograph by Currier & Ives, created in 1858, depicts the enchanting wedding of Hiawatha and Minnehaha. The ceremonial scene is filled with vibrant colors that bring to life this significant moment in Native American culture. In this print, we witness the betrothal of two souls as they embark on their journey together as husband and wife. Hiawatha stands tall and proud, adorned in traditional attire, while Minnehaha radiates beauty and grace beside him. Their love for each other is evident through their gentle embrace and adoring gazes. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this sacred union, showcasing intricate details such as the elaborate headdresses worn by both bride and groom. The surrounding adults are dressed in ceremonial garments, honoring the customs of their tribe. This lithograph not only celebrates a joyous occasion but also pays homage to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha" which tells the tale of these beloved characters. Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives masterfully translate Longfellow's words into visual artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness a celebration steeped in tradition and love. It serves as a reminder that marriage customs have always held great significance throughout history – uniting two individuals under vows that transcend time itself.
