McKenney & Hall Octavo Indian Portraits

McKenney & Hall Octavo Indian Portraits - Paytakootha Flying Clouds Shawnee Warrior

 

Paytakootha, or Flying Clouds a Shawnee Warrior

 
  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.

Paytakootha took the English name of a white man he admired, Captain Reed. It is possible that he gave his town to Read's Town in Logan County, Ohio.
