EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, created by W.H. Lizars from Charles Hamilton Smith's Natural History of the Human Species published in Edinburgh in 1848, showcases two notable figures from the North American continent: Moennitarri, a Hidatsa warrior, and an Otoe chief. The image is based on Karl Bodmer's original portraits for Prince Alexander Philipp Maximilian of Neuwied during their expedition through the United States from 1832 to 1834. Moennitarri, the Hidatsa warrior, is depicted in a powerful and regal pose, adorned in traditional clothing and accessories. His headdress is adorned with feathers, beads, and other decorative elements, reflecting his status and bravery within his tribe. The Hidatsa people, also known as the Gros Ventres, are a Native American tribe that once inhabited the Great Plains region of North America. Standing beside Moennitarri is an Otoe chief. The Otoe people, also known as the Quapaw, are another Native American tribe that historically lived in the central United States. The Otoe chief is shown wearing a simple yet elegant garment, with a feathered headdress and a pipe in his hand, symbolizing his leadership and connection to the spiritual world. This striking image offers a glimpse into the lives of these North American peoples during the 19th century. It is an important ethnographic record, providing valuable insights into the appearance, customs, and material culture of the Hidatsa and Otoe tribes. The intricate hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, making it a beautiful and captivating work of art.
