Most of the oil painting were done by Charles Bird King at Washington City as the important Indians, male and female, visited there.
Thomas L McKenney, the chief of the Bureau of Indian affairs took the oil portraits and had hand colored lithographs made for his personal gain along with this partner Hall who was in charge of writing the copy and getting the book produced, Much of the copy of lacks authenticity. McKenney did not have legal permission to reproduce the oils. The collection of Indian artifacts in the office of the Indian bureau became the beginnings of the Smithsonian collection. Most of the original oils were burned in a fire so the lithographs are all that remain as images of the Indian visitors to Washington. The lithographs were produced over a 3 year period and made at three different companies in Philadelphia in the 1830s. It appears that McKenney struggled with producing his 3 volume folio book. This practice of painting Indians at the Indian Bureau ended with the Indian removal act of 1834 and the removal of McKenney from his job by Jackson. The production of this book occurred during the time of the forced removal of Indians to the west and the "trail of tears". These prints remain very popular with print collectors. ( )
