Se-Loc-Ta: A Creek Chief

18487302Philadelphia:: J.T. Bowen 1848. First edition. Fine. Fine condition. Original lithograph; printed and colored by J.T. Bowen Philadelphia. Octavo 6.75 x 10 .5 inches. Matted in Rag Board. As the oil on canvas portrait of Se-Loc-Ta: A Creek Chief was destroyed by fire in 1865 the original hand-colored lithographs by JT Bowen are the only surviving rendering of this essential chapter of Americana. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century as the Native American people traveled to Washington DC to discuss their plight; the loss of their lands and destruction of their people they appealed to Thomas McKenney the then Chief to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in whom they found a sincere advocate in the efforts to improve the welfare of the Native American people. After meeting to discuss the situation McKenney invited every one of his guests to sit for formal portraits and included all members; not only the Chiefs but also the Warriors Braves and Women. A pioneer in the study of North American ethnology and superintendent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs under John C. Calhoun Thomas Loraine McKenney Chestertown MD 1785-1859 assembled in his War Department office a virtual archive of the American Indian; a large collection of books manuscripts artifacts and paintings that constituted the first museum in Washington DC. The core of the collection was a gallery of 150 portraits of prominent Indian men and women most of them painted by Washington artist Charles Bird King Newport RI 1785-1862 during official visits to Washington. In addition King copied and painted several portraits after James Otto Lewis 1799-1858. These portraits were later published as part of a mammoth lithography project that McKenney conceived of and launched with the aid of writer James Hall Philadelphia 1793-1868. Known as the History of the Indian Tribes of North America the publication features the portraits and biographies of 120 Indian men and women from McKenneys collection. The entire archive eventually ended up at the Smithsonian Institution where the portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865. ANB. 0300320 Single sheet matted in rag board J.T. Bowen, unknown

TOKO-SEE-MATHLA A Seminole Chief Original Hand-colored Lithograph from the 1855 Octavo Edition of HISTORY OF THE INDIAN TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA

1865W2803Philadelphia: Rice Rutter & Co. 1865. Original hand-colored lithograph by J. T. Bowen after the painting by Charles Bird King. From the final octavo edition published 1865-1870. The image size is approximately 6" by 9 3/4" on a heavy sheet of paper measuring 11" by 7 3/8". The print is in near fine condition: clean and bright with vivid coloring. Toko-see-mathla was a prominent Seminole chief between the first and second Seminole Wars. He was called John Hicks by white settlers He moved his people to the area called Hicksville! that is now Madison County Florida after Andrew Jackson forced them out of the Tallahassee area. Thomas L. McKenney who from 1816 until 1830 headed what was to become the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs commissioned Charles Bird King to paint portraits of Native American delegates visiting Washington D.C. He also had King paint copies of other portraits that had been painted by James Otto Lewis. The result was a gallery of portraits of both great chiefs and lesser personages that was intended to serve as an important part of the historic record of the era. After leaving government service McKenney arranged to have the portraits copied by Harold Inman for the purpose of creating a series of hand-colored lithographs. In collaboration with James Hall McKenney produced the monumental History of the Indian Tribes of North America that included 120 hand-colored lithographs after the paintings of King and Lewis as well as an historical essay by Hall and biographical material on most of the Native Americans pictured. Portions of the folio edition were published by various publishers during the period 1837-1844 and were followed by several octavo editions. Although hailed as an artistic success and an important contribution to Native American ethnology the high production cost of the lithographs and relatively low sales during an economic recession combined to make the venture unprofitable. The less expensive octavo editions were a financially unsuccessful attempt to salvage the situation but still an artistic success. In 1865 a fire at the Smithsonian Institute destroyed most of the original paintings; so the only original pictorial records remaining are the hand-colored lithographs published for McKenney and Hall. They are considered to be one of the high points of 19th century Americana. Original. Single Sheet. Near Fine. Illus. by Charles Bird King. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Fine Art Print. Rice, Rutter & Co.

Hayne Hudjihini or Eagle of Delight ca. 1804-1822 accompanied her husband to Washington D.C. in 1821 and so delighted those she met that she was loaded down with presents and King painted several portraits of her.

A portrait of her hangs in the White House Library. When leaders of various tribes came to visit President Monroe McKenney Superintendent of Indian Affairs and a defender of Native American interests commissioned artist Charles Bird King to paint portraits of the delegates in their choice of dress.
