"A WINNEBAGO" (The Orator)--Original Hand-colored Lithograph

McKenney, Thomas L., and James Hall (Charles Bird King)

Verlag: Daniel Rice & James G. Clark, Philadelphia, 1844

Beschreibung

Folio (18 3/8 inches by 14 1/2 inches) print from the third and final folio edition. The print is in excellent condition, with vivid coloring and none of the foxing frequently seen (see the Smithsonian's copy, for example). There are some smudges in the margins--well away from the image; there is one very small chip out of the bottom right corner in the margin and one 1/2" closed tear on the bottom edge. It is appropriate that McKenney and Hall identified this leader as "The Orator"because the Winnebago called themselves "Hochungra," which translates as "People of the Big Voice." Oratory was highly valued by tribe members, and it was natural that they would send their best orator to speak for them in negotiations in Washington. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.
