EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Se Quo Yah, also known as Sequoyah, who revolutionized communication for the Cherokee tribe. The engraving, created in 1836 by an anonymous American School artist, beautifully captures his half-length portrait. Sequoyah's significant contribution to history lies in his invention of the Indian alphabet. This ingenious system of symbols allowed the Cherokee people to express their language through writing for the first time. His dedication and scholarly pursuits are evident from his dignified appearance and intense gaze. The photograph highlights Sequoyah's Native American heritage with a clay pipe held delicately in his hand. Dressed in traditional attire, he wears a turban that adds an air of authority to his presence. As one looks at this image, it is impossible not to be captivated by the depth of knowledge and wisdom reflected in his eyes. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of America's rich cultural diversity and pays homage to a man whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of language today. It stands as a testament to Sequoyah's indelible mark on history and honors him as both an inventor and scholar. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this extraordinary piece is now accessible through eArchives Charmet courtesy of Bridgeman Images.
