🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · September 1, 1877 Complete Issue · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A historically significant issue featuring a portrait of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce — published at the height of the Nez Perce War of 1877, one of the most dramatic and poignant episodes in the history of the American West — alongside coverage of an around-the-world steamship expedition and a supplement with a dramatic double-page bombardment of Nicopolis from the Russo-Turkish War. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🪶 CHIEF JOSEPH — NEZ PERCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👤 PORTRAIT — "JOSEPH, THE NEZ PERCE WARRIOR" A portrait of Chief Joseph — Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt (Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain), leader of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce people — published at the exact moment his people were making their extraordinary fighting retreat across Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana in the summer of 1877. The Nez Perce War had begun in June 1877 when the U.S. government attempted to force the Wallowa band onto a reservation, and Chief Joseph's leadership of the subsequent 1,170-mile flight toward Canada — fighting off U.S. Army forces at every turn — was capturing national and international attention when this issue went to press. Chief Joseph's eventual surrender in October 1877 and his speech "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever" became one of the most famous statements in American history. This portrait, published during the height of the conflict, is a primary document of one of the most significant episodes in Native American history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚢 INSIDE THE ISSUE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 NEARLY HALF PAGE — "THE STEAMSHIP ONTARIO — THE WOODRUFF EXPEDITION AROUND THE WORLD" A nearly half-page illustration of the steamship Ontario, commissioned for the Woodruff Expedition around the world — described in the accompanying article as designed to serve as "a floating college," combining global travel with education. A fascinating piece of Victorian adventure and educational history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ THE SUPPLEMENT — RUSSO-TURKISH WAR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💥 DOUBLE-PAGE — "WAR SKETCHES — THE BOMBARDMENT OF NICOPOLIS" A wildly energetic and dramatic double-page illustration of the Russian bombardment of the Ottoman fortress of Nicopolis on the Danube — one of the opening victories of the Russian campaign in the summer of 1877. The composition is extraordinarily kinetic: figures fleeing in all directions, barrels and debris hurled through the air, cannon smoke billowing across the full double-page spread, soldiers and civilians tumbling in desperate chaos. Nicopolis fell to Russian forces in July 1877, opening the Danube crossing and setting the stage for the campaign toward Constantinople. A vivid and remarkable piece of Russo-Turkish War illustration. 🐎 LARGE ILLUSTRATION — CAVALRY SCENE A large supplement illustration of riders galloping across a field.
