About This Item
Philadelphia: E. C. Biddle, 1837. Folio (18 3/4 inches by 14 1/4 inches) lithograph from the first folio edition. The print is in excellent condition, with vivid hand-coloring and none of the foxing frequently seen. There is a dime-sized stain in the bottom margin--well away from the image; there is a very narrow line of glue residue along the binding edge--again well away from the image. In 1825 Mahaskah's father (also named Mahaskah) had traveled to Washington, where he negotiated a treaty and had his portrait painted by Charles Bird king. In 1837 "Young" Mahaskah made the same trip because the United States had not lived up to the terms of the treaty. He too had his portrait painted by King, and apparently he was wearing the same bear claw necklace that his father had worn.. First Edition. Paper. Collectible-Very Good. Illus. by Charles Bird King. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Fine Art Print.
