Photographs used to illustrate John Reed Swanton's "The Indians of the Southeastern United States" depicting American Indians of the Southeast and their dwellings, food preparation, and ceremonies.
Biographical note:
John Reed Swanton (1873-1958) was an ethnologist and ethnohistorian with the Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) from 1900 until his retirement in 1944. Swanton spent his first few years at the BAE studying the Haida and Tlingit groups of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and published a number of significant articles on the language, ethnography, and folklore of Northwest Coast Indians. His focus then shifted to the American Indians of the Southeastern United States, where his interest remained for the rest of his career. In addition to conducting ethnographic fieldwork in the Southeast, Swanton studied extensively the history of the area in order to better understand its indigenous cultures and is considered a pioneer in the field of ethnohistory. During his career Swanton published numerous articles and several major works on Southeastern American Indians, including the reference work The Indians of the Southeastern United States (1946), a Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin (No. 137).

Forrest's letter stated that the original is 6 or 7 inches square and is inscribed on the back as follows: "Joseph Brant, Mohawk Chief, par Wm. Berczy, York or Toronto, 1842."
Biographical / Historical:
This must be a posthumous portrait, since Brant died in 1807, but it appears to be a realistic likeness; compare the McKenney & Hall lithograph. A full length portrait by the same artist is in the National Gallery of Canada (oil on canvas, 24" x 18", Number 5777). The latter is reproduced in The American Heritage Book of Indians, New York, 1961, page 201.
Wm. Berczy is referred to as "an agent of the Robert Morris interests" in Deardorf and Snyderman, 1956, page 61, n. 63.
Same subject in Volume 1, 1838 edition. McKenney & Hall (BAE Library Catalog Number 574) differs slightly, appears to be a different "plate." It reads: "On stone by Corbould from a Painting by C. B. King. Printed by C. Hallmandel. Below this is "Red Jacket / Seneca War Chief" in different lettering.
Same subject in 1838 edition, McKenney & Hall, Volume 1 (Bureau of American Ethnology Library Cat. No. 574) has same first two lines of caption, then the following: Published by F. W. Greenough, Phila. / Drawn Printed & Coloured at I. T. Bowen's Lithographic Establishment No. 94 Walnut St. Phila./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 Pennsylvania.
