EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Keokuks Son, Sac and Fox" is part of the iconic American Indian Chiefs series (N2) produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands in 1888. The print showcases a young man from the Sac and Fox tribe named Moses Keokuk, who exudes strength and pride through his traditional dress. In this striking image, Moses stands tall against a vibrant yellow backdrop, adorned with feathers that symbolize his tribal heritage. His face paint adds an element of mystique to his already commanding presence. Dressed in intricately designed clothing, he represents the rich cultural tapestry that defines Native American traditions. The lithography technique employed for this piece brings out the vivid colors and intricate details of Moses' attire. Every line and stroke captures his essence as a proud member of the Sac and Fox tribe. Displayed at The Met museum today, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of America's indigenous people's resilience and their significant contributions to our nation's history. It invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of tribal culture while acknowledging its importance in shaping our country. Through this remarkable portrait, Allen & Ginter pays homage to Native Americans like Moses Keokuk who have played an integral role in preserving their ancestral customs amidst changing times. This print stands as a testament to their enduring legacy within Wisconsin United States - a tribute that transcends time itself.
