EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Hiawatha, the legendary hero of the Native American people, was created in 1855 by an unknown artist, making it an invaluable historical document. The image, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases Hiawatha in traditional attire, with intricately plaited hair adorned with feathers, and a headpiece that adds to his regal presence. Hiawatha is a central figure in the epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which was first published in 1855. Longfellow's work brought the story of Hiawatha, a mythical hero from the Algonquin tribes of the Great Lakes region, to the wider American public. The portrait captures the essence of Hiawatha's character as portrayed in Longfellow's poem, which tells the story of his life, love, and adventures. The image also highlights the rich cultural heritage and history of the Native American people, providing a glimpse into their traditions and customs. The portrait's publication in 1855 was a significant moment in American history, as it came at a time when the country was undergoing rapid industrialization and cultural change. The image of Hiawatha, with his traditional attire and regal bearing, served as a reminder of the country's Native American heritage and the importance of preserving its history and traditions. Today, this portrait remains an important historical artifact, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the cultural and literary history of America. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Hiawatha and the rich cultural heritage of the Native American people.
