McKenney & Hall Octavo Indian Portraits

McKenney & Hall Octavo Indian Portraits - Katawabeda Chippeway Chief

 

Katawabeda, a Chippeway 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.

Henry Schoolcraft called Katawabeda "the friend and advocate of peace." Zebulon Pike met him in the winter of 1805 called him the "First Chief" of his tribe.
