About the Item
Historic Print of Blackfeet Council Scene Near Missouri River Trading Posts**
Description: This captivating 19th-century lithograph, titled "Council with White Man's Horse," offers a window into the critical interactions between Blackfeet Indians and Euro-American settlers or explorers. The setting is likely along the Missouri River, between the prominent trading posts of Fort Union and Fort Benton in Montana—key hubs of trade and diplomacy during the westward expansion. These regions were central to the Blackfeet Nation's territory, known for its rich cultural and historical significance.
The scene depicts a council meeting, where cultural exchange, negotiations, or treaty discussions could have taken place. The Blackfeet individuals are depicted with traditional clothing and gestures, while settlers or explorers observe, highlighting the complex dynamics of coexistence and negotiation. Such councils often served as pivotal moments in the relationships between indigenous tribes and the U.S. government, especially during the mid-19th century when westward expansion was accelerating.
This lithograph was created using the highly detailed chromolithography technique, allowing for vibrant and accurate coloring that brings the landscape and figures to life. The fine lines and meticulous shading emphasize the balance between the natural environment and human activity.
Condition:
This print is in very good condition, with minimal foxing and strong, vibrant colors. A clean margin enhances its framability and aesthetic appeal.
Framing Tips:
Choose a double mat with neutral tones like cream or beige to highlight the historic atmosphere. A dark wooden or antique gold frame would beautifully complement the tones in the artwork while emphasizing its historical importance. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the vivid colors and delicate paper. This piece would make an exceptional addition to any collection focused on Native American history, westward expansion, or historical art.
