Nikkanochee, Prince of Econchatti, A young Seminole Indian,
[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.
