McKenney & Hall - Pair of Native American Lithographs
Included in this lot:
Red-Bird, A Winnebago
Mon-Ka-Ush-Ka, A Sioux Chief
Description of the work:
This original, hand-colored lithograph comes from the 1870 octavo edition of McKenney & Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America, published by Rice & Hart in Philadelphia and printed by J.T. Bowen. An admirer and supporter of the American Indians, Thomas McKenney spent his tenure in office fighting for their cause and preserving their legacy through a gallery of paintings that were commissioned by various artists. Unfortunately, the original paintings burned in a fire, and all that is left to remember these Indians are the lithographs found in History which were modeled off the paintings.
Paper Size ~ 6 1/2" by 10 1/4"
The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. - No text available for Mon-Ka-Ush-Ka
