Clare Smith was a printmaker who lived and worked in Galesburg, IL. After raising a family, she decided to go back to school and enrolled at Knox College, earning degrees in Art and French. After graduating she worked at the famous printshop Atelier 17 in Paris. It was there that she learned the technique of viscosity printing, which is utilized in this print. This particular print uses Native American imagery and was inspired by Longfellow's, <em>Song of Hiawatha</em>.

George Rickey was the Artist in Residence at Knox College from 1940-1941. It was then that he completed this painting as a study for the mural <em>The Offer of Education</em>. Though Rickey was considered American he lived in and was educated in Europe. Due to this, the Midwestern landscape appears idealized in his painting. Though Rickey focused on painting at the beginning of his career, he later earned fame for his kinetic sculptures.
