EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Men-son-se-a (The Lefthand) 1852" a pencil drawing created by the talented artist George Catlin. The artwork, measuring 35x16.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. Catlin's masterpiece serves as a poignant reminder of the Native American Indians' existence during the mid-19th century. It portrays Mensonsea, a Piankashaw warrior, who represents one among many noble and numerous tribes that were tragically fading away towards extinction. In this striking portrait, Mensonsea stands proudly donning traditional attire adorned with intricate bead necklaces and face paint. His intense gaze captures both strength and resilience while his headdress symbolizes cultural heritage and identity. Catlin's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil, bringing forth an authentic representation of North American Indian culture. The war club held firmly in Mensonsea's hand further emphasizes their history of bravery and valor. As we admire this remarkable piece of art preserved at the Newberry Library, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. It allows us to reflect upon the rich tapestry of indigenous cultures that once thrived across America before being threatened by colonization and assimilation. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate Catlin's dedication to capturing these vanishing traditions for future generations to cherish and learn from.
