Lithographic legend of Hiawatha as captured in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha" gets a spectacular visual interpretation in this 1900 Prang print. Heroic painting style that befits the Native American myth is divided into 12 scenes of Hiawatha's life (with handwritten verses of the poem), from his birth to following Minnehaha into the hereafter on a canoe. Vivid colors burst through in this 4-foot by 20-inch mosaic. Print is marked “Taber Prang Art Company Springfield Mass” and dated 1900. Prang was one of the top printmaker’s at the turn of the century, and this work reflects both the painter and printmaker’s brilliance. Boarded in a unique frame with handpainted images of the poem itself and a canoe. This frame is work of art unto itself. EX.
