EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history - "The Fete Champetre at Charlton House" in 1845. The image showcases the enchanting garden party held at Charlton House, located in Greenwich, London. Amidst the festivities, an extraordinary attraction took center stage - an encampment of Canadian Indians. Sketched by G. Harrison, this engraving from the "Illustrated London News" transports us back to a time when indigenous people from North America graced British soil. The Canadian Indians showcased their remarkable talents through feats and dances that left spectators awe-inspired. In this snapshot of the past, we witness both male and female members of the native community engaging with local guests. These Native Americans brought a touch of exoticism to Victorian England as they camped within the park grounds of Charlton House. The image evokes curiosity about how these encounters between different cultures unfolded during that era. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights moments where diverse communities intersected. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical gem allows us to reflect on how entertainment was perceived in 19th-century Britain while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Native American tribes who journeyed across vast distances to captivate audiences far from home.
