EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "She-sheba or The Little Duck" by James Otto Lewis showcases the remarkable portrait of a celebrated Winnebago Chief. Taken during the treaty of Green Bay in 1827, this image captures the essence and dignity of an indigenous leader. The chief's regal presence is enhanced by his traditional clothing and jewelry, which speak volumes about his status within the tribe. His intricate necklace adorns his chest, symbolizing both power and heritage. The attention to detail in this lithograph allows us to appreciate every line etched into his weathered face, telling stories of wisdom and resilience. Lewis masterfully portrays the strength and nobility that radiate from this Native American leader. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only a specific individual but also pays homage to all tribal chiefs who have played significant roles in North American history. Displayed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this print serves as a reminder of our shared past with indigenous communities. It invites viewers to reflect on their rich cultural heritage while acknowledging their contributions as kings and rulers. "She-sheba or The Little Duck" stands as a testament to Lewis' talent for capturing profound moments frozen in time. This engraving preserves an important chapter of Native American history for future generations to admire and learn from.
