EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful and intense moment from history. Depicting an Iroquois warrior scalping his enemy, the image is taken from the "Encyclopedia of travels" by Grasset St Sauveur, published in Paris in 1796. The artist behind this remarkable drawing is Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, whose talent for capturing raw emotion shines through. In this scene, we witness the fierce rivalry between two fighters during the 18th century. The Iroquois warrior stands triumphantly over his fallen foe, holding a scalp as a symbol of victory and dominance. This act was not only significant in Native American culture but also served as a testament to their bravery and strength. The attention to detail in this drawing is exceptional; every line conveys tension and intensity. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly preserves these intricate details while adding depth to the artwork. As we admire this piece, it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American Indians and their complex history with European settlers. It prompts us to reflect on the violent clashes that occurred during colonization and encourages us to seek understanding and reconciliation today. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history through art, allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and significance.
