Description:
Title etched below image., Signed with initials and dated in lower left corner. "I.G.", i.e., Isabella Godfrey, the married name of Augusta Isabella Ingram., and Probably engraved and printed in England, where the printmaker presumably lived after marrying John Godfrey of Sandwich, Kent, in 1823.

A head and shoulders profile portrait of Miami chief Pacanne, holding a tomahawk across his chest, with bracelets on his upper arms and jewellery in his ears, nose and across the crown of his head
Description:
Title in scratched letters at top of image, partially in reverse; the individual letters are printed correctly but the words themselves run right to left on the print., Printmaker attribution and date from impression at the Library and Archives Canada (Acc. No. 1938-223-42), on which the contemporary statement of responsibility "by Mrs. Simcoe 1794" is written in ink., After a drawing by British Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton, who travelled with Pacanne during the American Revolution. The original drawing is now housed at the Houghton Library at Harvard., A slightly later date is suggested by a contemporary ink annotation beneath plate mark on Lewis Walpole Library impression: An Indian Chief N. America of the Miamis tribe (from life 1795)., and Presumably one of only two small plates etched by Simcoe, which were sent to England in 1794 and printed in Bristol and London; see Dictionary of Canadian Biography, entry for Elizabeth Posthuma (Simcoe) Gwillim.
