A hand-colored lithograph by Ferd. Delanney, measuring 6 5/8 x 4 3/4, on a 10 5/16 x 6 3/4 sheet (possibly trimmed). Printed in 1863 in Paris, it depicts President Lincoln in the E ast Room of the White House, receiving several Comanche chieftains. The Native Americans are highlighted with bold, bright colored clothing; comparatively, Lincoln and his attendants appear drab and colorless, so it is clear the Comanches were intended as the focal point.
