EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Se-quo-yah or George Guess, an influential figure in Native American history. The illustration, taken from the renowned book "The Indian Tribes of North America" portrays Se-quo-yah in 1828. Created by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, this artwork is a testament to their dedication to documenting indigenous cultures. Se-quo-yah was not only a member of the Cherokee tribe but also an inventor who left an indelible mark on his people's legacy. In 1821, he developed the Cherokee alphabet, revolutionizing communication within his community. This remarkable achievement allowed for widespread literacy among the Cherokees and played a crucial role in preserving their language and culture. In this image, Se-quo-yah exudes wisdom and strength as he holds a pipe while wearing a medallion and turban adorned with intricate lettering. His earlobes feature cameo-like designs that further emphasize his cultural heritage. This print serves as both a tribute to Se-quo-yah's contributions and as a reminder of the rich diversity found within Native American tribes. It invites us to reflect on the importance of language preservation and appreciation for indigenous knowledge systems. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for its subject's achievements while honoring Native American history through Charles Bird King's masterful color lithography technique.
