No-Tin is named in the record as a Chippewa chief, and this hand-colored lithograph focuses on his clothing and dress, which the catalog highlights as a subject in its own right. The print was issued in Philadelphia around 1842 by the publishers Daniel Rice and James G. Clark. In the 1830s and 1840s, portraits of Native leaders like this one circulated widely in eastern cities, at a time when treaties, removal policies and westward expansion were drawing intense public attention to Native nations. Hand coloring added color to the printed image, so its tints of costume and ornament are worth noticing alongside the portrait itself.
