EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Quatawapea, also known as Colonel Lewis, a prominent Native American chief of the Shawnee tribe. Born around 1774, he played a significant role in signing numerous treaties with the United States during his lifetime. The artwork was masterfully created by Charles B. King (1785-1862), an accomplished artist renowned for his illustrations of indigenous peoples. In this striking depiction, Quatawapea exudes strength and wisdom through his piercing gaze and regal posture. His traditional attire reflects both his cultural heritage and leadership status within the Shawnee tribe. This portrait not only captures the physical features of its subject but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Native Americans in 19th-century America. The detailed illustration is part of "The Indian Tribes of North America" by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, published in Edinburgh in 1933. It serves as a valuable ethnographic record that sheds light on the diverse indigenous cultures that once thrived across North America. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and honoring the legacies left behind by individuals like Quatawapea – leaders who navigated complex negotiations between their tribes and European settlers during a pivotal time in American history.
