Jackopa, The Six, a Chippewa Chief |

| Thomas McKenney, History of the Indian Tribes of North America. | ||

Philadelphia, 1848. Lithograph with beautiful original hand coloring. McKenney and Hall's hand colored lithographs remain some of the most beautiful records of Native Americans ever produced in the nineteenth century. These lithographs were created from oil paintings that were done as studio portraits of Indian leaders and members of their parties when they came to Washington D.C. to sign treaties. McKenney offered to take the fourteen year old son of Jackopa back to Washington to educate him. In reply Jackopa drew an imaginary line from his forehead to his heart, indicating that to depart from his son would be like cutting him in two. $200 |
