This chromolithograph, "Meat-Catch'em, North American Chief" from the "Savage and Semi-Barbarous Chiefs and Rulers" series was produced by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1888. The card depicts a Native American man in traditional clothing, with feathers in his hair and intricate beadwork adorning his chest. This piece, like many of the "Savage and Semi-Barbarous" series, is a representation of Native American life in the late 19th century, often reflecting the romanticized views of the time. The lithograph is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
