Description: STUM-A-NU, A FLAT HEAD BOY No 19 RICE, RUTTER & CO, Publishers This image from Vol. I of the 1872 Octavo edition will also include the biography pages from the text. STUM-A-NU, the biographical account accompanying this portrait gives an overview related to "Flat Head" before getting to the information regarding Stumanu. The text reads, "...The portrait which accompanies this article, represents an interesting individual. Hi is one of that distant tribe inhabiting the most western extremity of our continent - a Chinnook, belonging to a band of the great family of Nez Perces. The name Stumanu has no particular meaning that we have been able to discover; the only account he could give of it himself, is that he was called by it after his grandfather, who is still living..." It went on to note he was about twenty years old at the time of the portrait sitting. This hand colored plate features him in a decorated buffalo robe and short cropped hair. He doesn't have any jewelry or face paint. The colors are nice and bright, the page does have age related toning along the edges. See pictures. Hand colored lithograph color plates were by Henry Inman based on paintings by Charles Bird King, James Otto Lewis, and Peter Rindisbacher. Most of the original paintings were destroyed in a fire and the Henry Inman lithographs preserve the images.
