Hoo-Wan-Ne-Ka is named in the title as a Winnebago chief, and the print's subject headings call out his clothing and body marking, details the artist evidently wanted viewers to notice. Issued in Philadelphia around 1844 by the publishers Daniel Rice and James G. Clark, the lithograph was hand-colored, a finishing method that gave such prints the look of painted portraits at a lower cost. Portraits like this were popular in the 1840s, when American audiences were eager to see Native leaders in their dress and adornment, though the images often reflected the tastes and assumptions of their non-Native makers.
