NMAI: Hear the Song of the Horse Nation
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian opened its doors this past weekend to a new exhibition, “ A Song for the Horse Nation .” The exhibition, nestled on the third floor of the museum, tells the epic tale of the how the return of the horse to the Americas changed Native culture, from lifestyle to war to art and beyond. “For some Native peoples, the horse still is an essential part of daily life,” said exhibit curator Emil Her Many Horses (Ogala Lakota). “For others, the horse will always remain an element of our identity and our history. The Horse Nation continues to inspire, and Native artists continue to celebrate the horse in our songs, our stories, and our works of art.”
To walk the exhibit’s path is to walk side by side with the conjoined path of Native and horse. Though horses were introduced to the Native Americans relatively late in North American history—the early 1700s saw the initial widespread explosion of the horse from captured Spanish mounts in the southwest—the image of Indians astride these graceful animals is one that is common to modern Americans. The “Horse Nation” quickly entwined themselves with Native communities, forever altering tribal culture and the Indian way of life.
little_details: 1700s European shawl styles and clothing sources
Setting: Germany, France, and Italy in the early 1700s (1715ish, to be more precise). Character is young woman from a family of farmers, traveling around Western Europe with her foster brother to rally the members of a secret society to fight the Ultimate Evil. Along the way, she is going to pick up a plot-significant shawl. I just don't know exactly what this shawl would have looked like. What would it have been made of? How would it have been made (knit/woven/crocheted/other)? Would it have been triangular, like some modern ones, or a rectangle? Would it be embroidered/beaded/etc.? It's not supposed to be anything fancy, just something any peasant/lower-class person would have. Also, I didn't even begin to know how to search for this one. Along the course of her journey, the character gets a Significant Costume Change....
little_details: Everyday Life in a Jewish Ghetto during the Early ...
Scenario: I'm working on a short comic (woo, art school theses!) which is my own take on the Golem legend. The main characters are the local Rabbi and his family, which includes many grandchildren from teenagers just reaching marriageable age to babies. I need to know what their everyday life would *literally* look like, which is where I'm having trouble. It seems I can find all the historical political information I could want about the time period, but very little about the nitty-gritty of a normal person's life, let alone images of it. I really need images of daily life more than anything else. Searches tried: various combinations of the following terms into Google, JSTOR, ArtSTOR, as well as into specifically Jewish museum/encyclopedia/etc websites: everyday life, daily life, historical daily life, jewish, ashkenazi, jewish quarter, ghetto, Prague, Josefov, eastern europe, 1800s, 1700s, clothing, costume, reconstruction, illustration,...
