Description: Rare original antique engraving print from an 1860s illustrated journal. The print depicts the Indian Peace Commission (also the Sherman or Great Peace Commission) with pictures of Ponca, Santee and Dakota Indian representatives, surrounded by a long article on the subject. The Indian Peace Commission was a group formed by an act of Congress on July 20, 1867, in order "to establish peace with certain hostile Indian tribes." It was composed of four civilians and initially three—later four—military leaders. Throughout 1867 and 1868, they negotiated with a number of tribes, including the Comanche, Kiowa, Arapaho, Kiowa-Apache, Cheyenne, Lakota, Navajo, Snake, Sioux, and Bannock. The treaties that resulted were designed to move the tribes to reservations, to "civilize" and assimilate these native peoples, and transition their societies from a nomadic to an agricultural existence. The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 15 inches (28 x 38 cm). The pictures and text fill most of it. The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
