SEATED SCRIBE

To me the sculpture of the seated scribe shows how important the scribes person was in the villiage and town. Only those who were truly respected amongst the town had sculptures created of them. The man in the villiage who could write and scribe was a man of high class and great respect, and therefore this sculpture was modeled after him.

Morris Fund-1933 "Fur Traders Descending the Missouri"

I chose this piece of art because of how it represents history and culture. Myself being a history guru it shows the lifestyle and culture that these people lived by in this time period. The photo is believed to represent trappers from the mid 19th century. With low means of transportation this shows the things they had to do to be able to survive in the time period. It truly represents the culture and ways of life during this historical time period.
