- Abstract
-
Print reproduces a painting by A.F. Tait that depicts a trapper on horseback holding a long gun, looking down at a Indigenous man who has been shot and unhorsed from his mount. The fallen man props himself up with one hand and raises his right hand to his mouth as he shouts. He wears a leather shirt, leggings and beaded moccasins. He is leaning on his bow and his shield. There is a spear on the ground in front of him. Other white men are in the background to the right looking back at others (Indigenous persons?) who are in the far distance further to the right
