The subject is Tuko-See-Mathla, a Seminole chief, shown in a hand-colored lithograph that the record credits to the Lithographic & Print Colouring Establishment in Philadelphia. Daniel Rice and James G. Clark published the print in 1843, the year after the Second Seminole War ended in 1842, a conflict that had drawn the Seminole people of Florida into long and bitter fighting with the United States. Prints like this one reached a public eager to see the Native leaders who had become newsworthy during those years. Its attention to clothing and dress, a subject the catalog record highlights, offers a close look at how Seminole men were presented to white audiences in that period.
