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.
