"MA-KA-TAI-ME-SHE-KIA-KIAH" "Black Hawk A Saukie Brave" (printed under image) is one of the more attractive and striking McKenney & Hall folios, and consequently more rare and difficult to acquire. The Saukie tribe (or correctly spelled "Sauk") were originally located in the Green Bay Wisconsin region in the 18th century but later moved West to Iowa. They were part of the Algonquin language group. Of note; famous olympic champion Jim Thorpe descended from this tribe. This example is in excellent and all original condition with no touch up, tears, or repairs of any kind; in bright crisp colors of red, blue, white silver, facial brown characteristics and the entire folio page intact (see image). Inscribed and "Published by F.W. Greenough, Phila" "Drawn Printed and Coloured at L.T. Bowen's Lithographic Establishment No. 94 Walnut St". Also, "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1836 by F.W. Greenough in the clerks office of the district court of the eastern district of Penn". The lithograph is mounted in a lovely 19th century solid wood gilt decorated original frame (see images). Of historical context: note the medallion hanging around the neck of the Indian Chief. It is the "Presidential Indian Peace Medal...

Southern Mexico & New Spain – Enlightenment Map by Rigobert Bonne, c.1780 This finely engraved late-18th-century map depicts southern Mexico and Central America, titled Partie Méridionale de l’Ancien Mexique ou de la Nouvelle Espagne, engraved circa 1780 by Rigobert Bonne, one of the most influential figures in Enlightenment-era French cartography. The map covers southern New Spain from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, including the Yucatán Peninsula, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama, offering a coherent French geographic vision of Mesoamerica on the eve of major political change. Bonne served as Ingénieur-Hydrographe de la Marine and chief cartographer at the Dépôt de la Marine in Paris, where he succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin. His work marked a decisive shift toward scientific, measurement-based cartography, emphasizing clarity, standardized projection, and the careful synthesis of contemporary travel accounts and colonial intelligence. This map belongs to Bonne’s mature period and exemplifies his restrained yet highly legible engraving style. The geography is rendered with precision and balance. Coastlines along both the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific are clearly articulated, while mountain ranges, river systems, and inland settlements structure the interior. Key regions such as Yucatán, Chiapas, Guatemala, and the Isthmus of Panama are shown in detail, reflecting their strategic importance within the Spanish colonial world. Ports, capes, and maritime routes underscore the map’s practical and geopolitical relevance. Visually calm and architecturally strong, the map’s wide horizontal format, fine line work, and generous margins give it strong decorative appeal. It works exceptionally well framed in both classic and contemporary interiors, whether as a standalone statement or as part of a broader group of Enlightenment-era maps of the Americas. It appeals equally to collectors of colonial cartography and to interior designers seeking historically grounded yet understated wall pieces. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light age toning and minor handling wear consistent with 18th-century copperplate engraving. Original centerfold as issued. Clean impression with strong legibility; margins ample for framing. Framing tips: Best framed in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or warm off-white mat. Museum glass recommended to enhance contrast and preserve the fine engraved detail. Particularly effective as a wide-format focal piece.

English Moths on Oak & Elm – Hand-Colored Entomology Engraving, Albin 1720 This finely hand-colored copper engraving was published in London in 1720 as part of A Natural History of English Insects, the landmark entomological work by Eleazar Albin. The composition depicts moths and caterpillars shown in successive stages of development, carefully arranged around oak and elm branches. Albin’s practice of illustrating insects in direct relation to their host plants was innovative for its time and places this work among the earliest systematic studies of English insects. The plate is dedicated “To the Right Honorable The Lady Arthur Somerset,” following early 18th-century aristocratic convention. Lady Arthur Somerset was the wife of Lord Arthur Somerset, a British courtier and member of one of England’s most prominent noble families. Such dedications reflect the strong connection between scientific publishing and aristocratic patronage in Georgian England. The insects shown are moths and caterpillars associated with deciduous woodland trees, likely including oak-feeding and elm-feeding moth species commonly observed in England. The plants depicted are oak (Quercus) and elm (Ulmus), rendered with botanical clarity and decorative balance. The restrained palette of greens and soft neutrals, combined with the natural symmetry of the layout, gives the engraving strong visual appeal beyond its scientific importance. Printed on early 18th-century paper and finished with original hand coloring applied under Albin’s supervision, this engraving is an authentic period work, not a later reproduction. It functions equally well as a collector’s piece of early natural history and as a refined decorative artwork suited to classic or contemporary interiors. Condition: Light to moderate, even age-related toning consistent with early 18th-century paper. Minor edge wear from original binding. Original hand coloring remains clear and well preserved. Framing tips: For a classic interior, frame in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or soft cream mat to complement the aged paper tone. For a lighter, contemporary look, a pale oak or natural wood frame with a museum-white mat works beautifully. UV-protective glazing is recommended to preserve the original hand coloring. These engravings are sold unframed, allowing full flexibility for custom presentation.
