In frame this piece measures 19 by 15. It weighs 3 lbs. The Ojibwe (also Ojibwa and Ojibway) are an Indigenous people in Canada and the United States who are part of a larger cultural group known as the Anishinaabeg. Chippewa and Saulteaux people are also part of the Ojibwe and Anishinaabe ethnic groups. The Ojibwe are closely related to the Odawa and Algonquin peoples, and share many traditions with neighbouring Cree people, especially in the north and west of Ontario, and east of Manitoba. Some Cree and Ojibwe peoples have merged to form Oji-Cree communities. In their traditional homelands in the Eastern Woodlands, Ojibwe people became integral parts of the early fur trade economy. Ojibwe culture, language (Anishinaabemowin) and activism have persisted despite assimilative efforts by federal and provincial governments, and in many cases are representative of the enduring First Nations presence in Canada. James Otto Lewis (February 3, 1799 – November 2, 1858) was an American engraver and painter who was noted for his portraits of Native American leaders and other figures of the American frontier.[1] Lewis began his engraving career in Philadelphia about 1815. From 1819 to at least 1834, Lewis worked in the west, what was then Michigan Territory, including present-day states of Indiana and Wisconsin. For eleven years of that time, he was working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, then within the War Department, to make portraits of Native Americans. He published copies of his work in The Aboriginal Port Folio in Philadelphia, between 1835 and 1836. Without taking the frame apart for inspection it is believed these to be lithographs. They were previously owned by another local resident. 31 / 93 -

Hayne Hudjihini or Eagle of Delight (c. 1795 – 1822) was a prominent Otoe woman from what is now Nebraska. The daughter of a chief, Hayne Hudjihini belonged to the Eagle clan.[1] She became one of the five wives of Chief Sų Manyi Kathi, or Shaumonekusse (Otoe, ca. 1785–1837),[2] who belonged to the Bear clan. In 1822, Hayne Hudjihini accompanied her husband with an Indian delegation of chiefs to Washington D.C., where they met James Monroe, the President of the United States. She was described by those who met her as beautiful and charming. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) commissioned Charles Bird King to paint portraits of Hudjihini and Shaumonekusse. Although the original portrait of Eagle of Delight was destroyed in a fire at the Smithsonian Institution in 1865, a patron donated King's personal copy to the White House in 1962. The portrait now hangs in the White House Library.[6] There is a portrait of the same subject by Henry Inman on view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 756. This rare portrayal of a Native American woman, Hayne Hudjihini, Eagle of Delight—wife of Sumonyeacathee, Chief of the Otoe-Missouria people—emphasizes her distinctive beauty and bearing.

This piece in frame measures 21 by 17 and weighs 5 lbs with the frame. The art measures 14 by 10. Jacquet studied under Bouguereau, forsaking many other masters and the beginning of his career was very much in the manner of his teacher. Jacquet debuted at the Salon in 1865 with an allegory titled “The Day Dream”. However, the following year, Jacquet moved towards the type of genre scenes that would consecrate his reputation and so he began giving the Salons canvases of small dimensions in which he evoked, with conscientious concern of the tiniest detail, the elegant life of the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries. In 1868 he won a Third Class medal and around the same time he devoted himself to portraits, amusing himself sometimes by clothing his models in the sparkling outfits of the 16th Century. 84 / 93 -
