Costumi d'America – Vari Capi della Florida, che si recano alla guerra, ca. 1845

Original antique lithograph with fine contemporary hand coloring.

Striking mid-19th-century Italian lithograph depicting several Native American figures identified in the original caption as chiefs of Florida preparing for war. The scene shows elaborately dressed figures carrying weapons and wearing distinctive headdresses, ornaments, and ceremonial clothing, with additional figures and animals in the background.

The Italian caption reads “Costumi d'America” and “Vari Capi della Florida, che si recano alla guerra” (“Various Chiefs of Florida, who are going to war”).

An attractive example of 19th-century European interest in the peoples and cultures of North America. The print has been finely hand colored, with the original coloring particularly effective in the figures' clothing, ornaments, and headdresses.
