About the Item

Original antique and hand-colored engraving of people of the Chippewa tribe in American. The upper part of the print says, "Engraved for BANKES's New System of GEOGRAPHY Published by Royal Authority." This indicates that the image was engraved for a geography publication authorized by a royal entity, suggesting it was intended for educational or informative purposes, possibly during a time when such publications were sponsored by royal patronage. Below the image, the text reads, "A Man Woman of the Chippeways to the eastward of The Mississippi in North America." This description tells us that the subjects of the print are a man and a woman from the Chippewa (Ojibwe) tribe, located to the east of the Mississippi River in North America. The Chippewa are one of the many Native American tribes that inhabited North America before European colonization. The print itself shows a man and a woman, presumably of the Chippewa tribe, in a natural landscape with mountains and a body of water in the background. The man is holding a bow, suggesting hunting as one of the activities of the tribe, and the woman is holding a container, which might be used for gathering or storing food. There is also a small child standing next to the woman, indicating a family scene. The clothing and accessories they wear might be indicative of their cultural attire during the time period when the print was made. The use of color in the print is also worth noting, as it adds depth and life to the scene. Such prints were common in geographical works of the 18th and 19th centuries, aiming to illustrate the peoples and cultures from various parts of the world to European audiences. They often reflected the European perspective and understanding of these cultures during the period of their creation.
