EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A 'Surround' of Buffalo by Indians" captures a significant moment in American history. Created in 1858 by artist Alfred Jacob Miller, this wash on paper artwork measures 26.1x43.8 cm and is housed at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The painting depicts a scene from the early 19th century when Miller, along with Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and Irish mountain man Thomas Fitzpatrick, embarked on an expedition through the old Nebraska Territory to rendezvous with fur trappers in Wyoming's Green River Valley. In this vibrant landscape, we see numerous Native Americans on horseback engaging in a buffalo hunt. The artist skillfully portrays the dynamic energy of the chase as hunters gallop alongside majestic bison across the plains. The rich colors and meticulous details bring to life both the beauty of nature and the cultural significance of Native American traditions. This artwork not only showcases Miller's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on America's westward expansion during this time period. It provides us with a glimpse into frontier life, exploration, and hunting practices that were essential for survival. Through this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era where humans coexisted harmoniously with nature while embracing their indigenous culture. It serves as a reminder of our nation's diverse heritage and invites us to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within one frame.
