The portraits
of some of the major Seminole leaders of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842)
are a highly prized set of hand colored lithographs. They were produced
from original paintings done by Charles Bird King (1785-1862), a Washington,
D.C. artist, noted for his portraits of prominent people in government
and Washington society, as well as those of many Indian delegations who
visited the capital.
The Seminoles,
except Osceola, visited Washington and were painted during the spring
of 1826. Lithographs were also published by Thomas L. McKenny and James
Hall in The Indian Tribes of North America with Biographical Sketches
and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs between 1837 and 1844.
