EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an engraving by Tony Johannot in the frontispiece of J. F. Cooper's novel "Les Pionniers" from the French edition Furne 1866. Set at the end of the 18th century, it depicts a scene in New York State near Susquehanna spring, where pioneers gather around a tavern. In this particular moment, they have allowed an old Mohican Indian to drink alcohol until he becomes intoxicated. The image evokes a range of emotions and themes prevalent during that era. It speaks to colonialism and the complex relationship between settlers and Native Americans. The abuse of alcohol is also highlighted, shedding light on societal issues such as alcoholism. Tony Johannot's masterful engraving skillfully portrays the old Indian Mohican with remarkable detail, capturing his weathered face and worn clothing that reflect his years of experience and wisdom. Despite its serious undertones, there is an element of humor present as well - perhaps a commentary on how some pioneers found amusement in exploiting others for their own entertainment. As we gaze upon this black-and-white engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness this significant moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of our past actions and encourages us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
