Kish-Ke-Kosh is identified in the print's title as a Fox brave, and the image focuses on his dress and personal adornment, which the subject headings also highlight. The sheet was drawn, printed, and hand-colored at the Philadelphia lithographic shop of I.T. Bowen and published by F.W. Greenough around 1836. Portraits like this were popular in the 1830s, when American audiences were eager to see Native people in dress and ornament, often at a time when the Fox were drawing national attention during the Black Hawk War. Prints of this kind are most useful when read with care, since the artist's choices shaped how the sitter was presented to viewers.
