EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Wapella or the Prince Chief of the Foxes" in 1837, as depicted in the renowned publication "The Indian Tribes of North America, Vol. 2" by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall. The illustration was created by Charles Bird King and beautifully reproduced through a color lithograph. In this striking portrait, Wapella exudes strength and dignity as a male Native American Indian leader. Adorned with an impressive headdress adorned with feathers that symbolize his status within the tribe, Wapella's presence commands attention. A medallion hangs from his neck, featuring a cameo-like design that adds an air of regality to his attire. One cannot help but notice the intricate necklace made from animal claws encircling Wapella's neck. This unique piece of jewelry not only serves as an adornment but also represents his connection to nature and spirituality. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native American tribes during this period in history. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and deep-rooted traditions that have shaped their communities for generations. This print is part of a private collection and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind capturing such significant historical figures like Wapella on paper for future generations to admire and learn from.
