This early image was first rendered as a watercolor and then an aquatint engraving by Rene Rollet. It appeared in Maximillian Prince of Wied's Travels in the Interior of North America. Another print identical to the present work appeared in Graham's Magazine, October 1845. The engravers were listed as Rawdon, Wright & Hatch. During this period, American artist Tracy R. Edson was the chief engraver for the firm and it is possible he painted the present work. He later went on to form the American Bank Note Company.
