About this Item
Description:
Handcolored lithograph, 16 x 12 inches. Matted and framed to 24 x 20 inches. Minor offsetting from text. Very good. A handsome portrait of Naw-Kaw, a Winnebago chief, from the folio edition of McKenney and Hall's HISTORY OF THE INDIAN TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA, after the original painting by Charles Bird King. McKenney and Hall's work is "One of the most costly and important [works] ever published on the American Indians" (Field), "a landmark in American culture" (Horan), and an invaluable contemporary record of a vanished way of life, including some of the greatest American handcolored lithographs of the 19th century. In one hand Chief Naw-Kaw holds out a peace pipe, while the other clutches what appears to be a scalp. Nicely framed for display. FIELD 992 (ref). Seller Inventory # WRCAM43338
