The Passing Glory of the Red Man
A solitary figure stands on a rocky ledge beneath an extended procession of pale forms. The dark gulf, long vertical staff and figures crossing the upper field create a dramatic separation of scale and light. Knapp’s frontispiece, captioned The Passing Glory of the Red Man, introduces Hall’s mystical allegories through a romanticised vision of loss and spiritual continuity.
