EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death of Joseph Chief of the Nez-Perce, (1877) 1904" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures the essence of resistance and resilience as it depicts Joseph, an esteemed leader who fearlessly led North American Indian tribes against encroaching white settlers in 1877. The composition is striking, with Joseph portrayed wearing a majestic headdress that symbolizes his authority and connection to his indigenous roots. The contrast between the vibrant colors of his headdress and the somber tones surrounding him represents the clash between two worlds - one rich in culture and tradition, while the other seeks dominance through colonization. Joseph's stoic expression on his deathbed evokes both admiration for his bravery and sorrow for what has been lost. This powerful illustration serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by Native American tribes during this tumultuous period in history. The setting within a tent or wigwam further emphasizes Joseph's deep connection to his tribe and their way of life. It also highlights how these communities were forced into smaller spaces due to settler expansion. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking portrait from Le Petit Journal, Paris, October 1904, we are transported back to a time when America was still being shaped by conflicting forces. Through this photograph, we gain insight into not only one man's fight for justice but also into the larger narrative of indigenous peoples' struggle for survival amidst rapid change in early 20th
