EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Inscription Rock, a remarkable sandstone mesa located near the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico. Taken from the historical book "Our Whole Country: The Past and Present of the United States" published in 1861 by John Warren Barber and Henry Hare, this engraving offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this region. The image captures the intricate inscriptions left on Inscription Rock by various civilizations throughout history. These include markings made by Native American Indians, Spanish explorers, and early American settlers. Each inscription tells a unique story, representing different periods of exploration and interaction between these diverse cultures. The petroglyphs etched onto the rock's surface are particularly fascinating. They depict hieroglyphic symbols that were used to communicate important messages or record significant events in pre-Columbian times. This visual representation provides valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of ancient Native American communities who once inhabited this area. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration was at its peak and encounters between different civilizations shaped our nation's history. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined our past is with indigenous cultures and their enduring legacies.
