J., 1809-1887, artist. 52824 The first steamboat on the Missouri. [graphic] / Douglass, R. September 25, 1841. 1 drawing: pen and ink wash; overall 28 x 23 cm. (11 x 9 in.) Title from album page. Date from album page. Album page with pre-printed lithographic border containing a drawing and unattributed poem about the first steamboat on the Missouri from the 1838 edition of "The Token and Atlantic Souvenir." Drawing is after Joseph Andrew's engraving of the work by painter John Gadsby Chapman. Depicts two Native American men on a rock, one seated, and portrayed with a forlorn expression, and the other standing with their arms raised in an anguished pose, watching a steamboat in the distance. Poem, "The Indian's Farewell to the Missouri, on seeing the First Steamboat on its Waters," addresses the power of the white man and the steamboat as a harbinger of his usurpation of Native American territories. Douglass, an African American artist and early photographer, was an active member of the Philadelphia anti-slavery and civil rights movement. Forms part of: Martina Dickerson Album.
