The Winter Trade by Robert Griffing |
||
| From the 18th century to the present day, the most familiar images of the early American frontier have been military campaigns and acts of violence between Native American, European and colonial people. Yet most day-to-day encounters among these diverse groups were peaceful. Natives and newcomers exchanged the products of their labor and far-flung homelands, as well as stories and ideas that changed old perceptions and practices forever. The new American world they made together was shaped profoundly by cross-cultural encounters in the crowded trading "houses" or posts at places like Albany and Montreal, Niagara and Michilimackinac, Pittsburgh and Kaskaskia. | ||
| Originally released as a signed and numbered paper and canvas print, and later (after those two editions sold out) as an open edition print. The open edition is not numbered or signed, is much smaller and represents just a "detail" of the full size print. Both images are shown here to present both options. | ||
