Indians hunting bison in a bleak snowy landscape. "In this view the reader is introduced to the optimum of dreariness and severity which the hunters of the northern prairies have to contend with in the depths of winter. An intensely cold day, and dry and sand-like snow three or four feet in depth, drifting before the wind, and a herd of buffaloes labouring to plough their way through it, whilst they are urged on by a party of Indians on snow-shoes, deeply clad in furs, and dealing death to them with their spears. The dying bull in the foreground of this picture, and that in the preceding plate, were carefully sketched by my own hand whilst the animals were thus struggling with death; and I therefore confidently offer them as faithful delineations of their forms and looks, as well as fit and impressive subjects for contemplation for those who may ever have the time, and feel disposed to sympathize with the cruel destruction and extinction of this useful and noble animal.” An exhibition of Catlin's 'American Indian Portraits' is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery. George Catlin (1796-1872) was a Pennsylvanian-born artist who made five trips to the western United States to document the Native American peoples and their way of life. From Catlin's "North American Indian Portfolio".

Portrait of Makataimeshekiakiak or Black (Sparrow) Hawk (1767-1838), whose Sauk tribesmen fought for the British in the War of 1812, earning themselves the nickname the 'British Band'. In 1832 the British Band crossed the Mississippi into Illinois, attempting to resettle land ceded in 1804 to the United States in a disputed treaty. It was the US that started hostilities, when poorly-trained militia opened fire on a delegation from the Sauk, after which the tribe attacked forts and settlements before being defeated at the Battles of Wisconsin Heights & Bad Axe. Most of the Sauk were killed, but Black Hawk was captured and imprisoned. The 'Black Hawk War' is best known for Abraham Lincoln's brief military experience and as the impetus for the 'Indian Removal' policy.

[Day & Haghe, Lithrs,, to the Queen.]
[Published by Hatchard & Son, Piccadilly.] [London, 1841]
Rare lithograph. Sheet 190 x 120mm (7½ x 4¾"). Trimmed, losing inscriptions
A portrait of a young Amerinds boy with bow and shield, after a portrait by George Catlin. According to the text he was an orphan, presumably because of the Second Seminole War (1835-42). The frontispiece portrait of 'A Narrative of the Early Days and Remembrances of Oceola Nikkanochee, Prince of Econchatti, a young Seminole Indian; son of Econchatti-Mico, king of the Red Hills, in Florida; with a brief history of his nation, and his renowned uncle, Oceola, and his parents: and amusing tales, illustrative of Indian life in Florida... Written by his Guardian [Andrew Welch]'. Welch's text is very sympathetic to the plight of the Seminole, portraying them as victims of European greed.

Catlin del._on Stone by Mc.Gahey. Day & Haghe Lith.rs to the Queen.
(From Catlins N.A. Indian Collection.) [London: Geo. Catlin, 1844.]
Tinted lithograph. 411 x 565mm (16¼ x 22¼"). Tear to lower edge.
Buffalo wounded by a spear or arrow in the snow. "The reader has here, a striking illustration of the deadly effects of the Indian's arrow, and also as an emphatic representation of one of the largest specimens of the buffalo bull, shot through the heart, at his last halt; his legs bending under his great weight, and his huge carcass ready to tumble down from loss of blood, which is pouring from his nostrils and mouth, as well as from the wounds in his side. Not only shot, but pinioned, by the arrows of the hunter, (who has already counted him amongst his victims and passed on to claim others of the throng,) the bull is thus left to struggle with death; and in that struggle, hobbles and reels along but a brief distance, wheezing and sighing through streams of frothy blood until he sinks upon his haunches, where he invariably rests for a few moments, bracing up with his fore legs, the noblest object of pity, until his last deep-drawn breath is gushed out, when he falls and rolls in death, without a kick or struggle." An exhibition of Catlin's 'American Indian Portraits' is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery. George Catlin (1796-1872) was a Pennsylvanian-born artist who made five trips to the western United States to document the Native American peoples and their way of life.
