Item description from seller

Hand-colored lithograph on paper. Large folio. In fine condition, professionally mounted and framed. The sheet measures about 13¼" x 16¼" to the inside edges of the inner mat, glazed and framed to 25¼" x 29¼". An impressive portrait from Thomas McKenney and James Hall's three-volume classic *History of the Indian Tribes of North America*, renowned for its faithful portraits of Native Americans drawn after paintings by the artist Charles Bird King. McKenney, U.S. superintendent of Indian trade in Georgetown, conceived the idea of developing a government collection of portraits of prominent Native Americans who visited Washington. He engaged King, a Washington portraitist who had studied under Benjamin West, to paint the portraits. King painted from life Native American leaders of at least 20 tribes, which were handsomely reproduced as hand-colored lithographs in the large folio edition of the *History of the Indian Tribes of North America*, published from 1837 through 1844. An impressive, well-preserved portrait in a handsome wood frame.
