This lithograph, part of the "American Indian Chiefs" series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, features a portrait of "Clam Fish" from Warm Springs. The artwork depicts a Native American man in traditional garb, with a headdress, adorned with feathers, and a beaded necklace. The background features various weaponry, such as spears, arrows, and a canoe, adding to the imagery of Native American culture. The image is framed within an oval shape on a pink background, characteristic of this series of trading cards. This piece was likely intended to promote Allen & Ginter cigarettes and served as a means to present a romanticized depiction of Native American culture.
