EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-finished colour lithograph captures the essence of Asseola, a Seminole Leader, during the years 1837-1844. The print, created by Charles Bird King and published in the renowned History of the Indian Tribes of North America by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, showcases Asseola's powerful presence and leadership. In this portrait-style image, Asseola stands proudly in his traditional tunic adorned with feathers. His warm smile radiates strength and resilience as he gazes away into the distance. The artist skillfully captures every detail of his expression, from his confident posture to the intricate decorative techniques used throughout. Set against a rural backdrop with an encampment visible in the distance, this scene transports us back to early nineteenth-century America. Asseola's armed stance symbolizes both protection for his tribe and resistance against those who sought to oppress them. The close-up view allows us to appreciate not only Asseola's regal appearance but also the craftsmanship involved in creating this lithograph. Every brushstroke brings out vibrant colors that bring life to this historic piece. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of the rich heritage and culture of Native American Indians like Asseola. Their contributions have shaped our nation's history and continue to inspire generations across time.
