About the Item

The original antique print is a pair of original engravings from "Bankes's New System of Geography." This work, as indicated by the title, was published by royal authority, suggesting it was produced with some level of official endorsement or patronage, which was a common practice for scholarly works in the 18th and 19th centuries. The engravings depict two pairs of figures, each labeled with the names of Indigenous American tribes. The first illustration is titled "A Man & Woman of the Chipeways to the eastward of the Mississippi in North America." The Chippewa, more commonly known as Ojibwe, are a Native American people historically located in the Great Lakes region. The second illustration is titled "A Man & Woman of the Nawdowessies to the westward of the Mississippi in North America." The Nawdowessies refers to the Dakota, Sioux, or Nakota tribes, which were found mainly to the west of the Mississippi River. These images serve as historical documentation of European perspectives on Indigenous peoples during the time of their production. They were intended to educate European readers about the diverse cultures of North America, although they often contained biases and inaccuracies due to the colonial viewpoint of the authors and illustrators. The engravings were published in the late 18th century or early 19th century, a period during which such compilations of geography and ethnography were popular in Europe.
