This chromolithograph, part of the "American Indian Chiefs" series, depicts Keokuk's Son, a member of the Sac and Fox Nation. Created in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, the image was originally produced as a trading card for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. This portrait, like many others in the series, showcases a direct gaze and traditional dress, offering a glimpse into Native American culture during the late 19th century.
