The
Lost Documents
Native Americans
and Europeans have historically looked upon one another with great
curiosity. The Europeans found it difficult to comprehend the Indian's
life with no permanent home, no hereditary government and no accumulation
of wealth. The Indians thought the Europeans equally as odd. The
whites lived cramped together like ants in large cities; their leaders
were chosen because of their families and not their ability; and
they bought and sold the land as if they owned it. Possibly the
most curious of all to the Indian was the written word. The letters,
documents and maps of the whites seemed to have the magical ability
to take land from the Indian. Here, two hunters have come across
a document chest lost upon a frontier trail. They carefully leaf
through a journal and wonder at its mysteries.
This
is a canvas reproduction. Rather than being printed on paper as
with most prints, this technique prints directly on artist's canvas,
which you then stretch and frame as you would an original. They
are signed and numbered by the artist.
