Abstract: Hand-colored and numbered lithographs by François Séraphin Delpech of group portraits of Osage men and women, based on paintings by Louis Boilly, 1827.

Number 89, for which there are two examples, depicts Kishagashugah (Little Chief), his female cousin of his wife Grétomih, and Minckchatahooh (Little Warrior). Number 90 depicts Myhangah (Hawk Woman), the wife of Kishagashugah, Washingasbha (Black Spirit), and Marchanthitahtoongah (Big Warrior).
