EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, depicting the legendary figure of Hiawatha as he goes fishing in his canoe. The image is rich with symbolism and historical significance, showcasing Hiawatha's connection to nature and his skill as a fisherman.
The reflection of the sky on the water adds a dreamlike quality to the scene, while the feather in Hiawatha's hair serves as a reminder of his Native American heritage. The presence of a squirrel perched on the edge of the canoe further enhances the sense of harmony between man and nature.
Published in 1855 by Mary Evans Picture Library, this print brings to life an excerpt from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha." In this particular passage, Hiawatha calls out to the king of fishes with confidence and determination: "Take my bait, O king of fishes!"
Through this image, viewers are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Native American history. It serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and highlights the importance of preserving cultural traditions for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
