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 DC to sign treaties. Big White, or Shahaka met Lewis and Clark at the Mandan village at the Knife and Missouri Rivers in present day North Dakota in 1804. He became great friends of Lewis and Clark and was invited to return to Washington with them. He also contributed to Clarks map. $250 |
