EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Okee-Makee-Quid, a prominent Chippeway chief from the mid-19th century. The color lithograph, created by Charles Bird King and published in Philadelphia between 1842 and 1844, is a stunning representation of this Native American leader. In the portrait-style image, Okee-Makee-Quid stands outdoors against a picturesque countryside backdrop. His mature and dignified presence is emphasized as he gazes away from the viewer with an air of aversion. Clad in traditional indigenous apparel adorned with feathers and horns, his regal attire symbolizes his status as a chieftain. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this historic piece. From the intricate lithography technique used to create the print to Okee-Makee-Quid's expressive facial expression, every element contributes to capturing the essence of this significant historical figure. As we observe him smoking a requisite pipe, we are transported back in time to witness not only his physical appearance but also gain insight into his cultural practices. This portrayal serves as both a visual representation of Native American history and an artistic tribute to their rich heritage. Displayed within private collections today, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the past while honoring Okee-Makee-Quid's legacy as one of America's influential indigenous leaders.
