This painting was made by Charles Bird King in 1825 and later lithographed by McKinny & Hall
I have relatively few postcards of Southeastern Native people so this is a nice card to add to my binder, despite the USPS postmark ink smudge!

Mistipe, Creek
A swap from North Carolina brings me a nice addition to my collection. This card features Mistipe, a young Muscogee (Creek) boy, son of a local headman or Mico. He wears the usual cloth shirt, finger woven sash, and has a nice bandolier bag; for more on these, see the work of contemporary Cherokee artist Martha Berry at her website: http://www.berrybeadwork.com/
