Printed Historic Textiles c. 1938

"Printed Historic Textiles" (c. 1938) by Michael Trekur is a detailed depiction of a historical event, likely a meeting between European colonists and Indigenous peoples. The print, executed in brown tones, captures the scene with a high level of realism, highlighting the contrast in clothing and social hierarchy between the groups. The artwork, likely created for a textile design or historical illustration, provides insight into early colonial encounters and the cultural differences that shaped the relationship between European and Indigenous communities.
