Original 1835 James Otto Lewis Color Lithograph – Billy Shane A Shawnee Chief. Published by George Lehman and Peter S. Duval in Philadelphia between 1835 and 1836. The "Aboriginal Portfolio" by James Otto Lewis is a rare and significant collection of hand-colored lithographs, first published in 1835-1836. It features portraits of Native American leaders and notable tribal members, created during treaty ceremonies between 1825 and 1828. The lithographs, including "Billy Shane" capture intricate details of dress, face paint, and cultural artifacts, offering a vivid glimpse into the heritage of various tribes.
