In fine condition. J.N. Malindy's finely-rendered artistic interpretation of Native American leader Tecumseh's intervention to save the lives of white prisoners from slaughter by Miami Indians after the Siege of Fort Meigs, Ohio during the War of 1812. Malindy's illustration likely dates from circa 1890. It was designed after both the painting by American artist John Reuben Chapin, and the later popular engraving (circa 1860) by James Charles Armytage that was published under the caption title: "Tecumseh Saving the Lives of Prisoners." The image concerns an event during the War of 1812. In 1813, at Fort Meigs in Ohio, a detachment of Kentuckian militia men under Colonel William Dudley successfully laid siege to the fort. But the Kentucky men became distracted by enemy fire coming from the woods from Native Americans under the command of Shawnee chieftain Tecumseh. The Kentuckians were lured deeper into the woods where hundreds were killed and massacred in what became known as "Dudley's Defeat." American prisoners who survived this massacre battle were taken to Fort Miami. There, Native Americans under British command began to further harass and massacre the prisoners. When Tecumseh learned of this ongoing massacre he dramatically intervened to prevent his own warriors from further killing. Here, as in Chapin's image, Shawnee leader Tecumseh, with his tomahawk gripped in his right hand, stands in front of an imploring white male who is on his knees, arms thrown skywards, begging for mercy. Tecumseh protects this man from his would-be assailant; a horse-mounted Indian warrior who raises his own tomahawk over his head, his right arm swinging in an attacking motion. In the lower right of the image, an Indian warrior pauses in the action as he prepares to scalp a face-down white settler with a large dagger. This interpretation of "Tecumseh Saving Prisoners" is a significantly enhanced "improvement" by the artist, J.N. Malindy, who signs his or her name in the lower right. Fine brushwork and bright colors exquisitely renders human faces and clothing. The image may have been prepared for a book illustration and Malindy's attention to detail and fine execution of the brush work, is quite remarkable; a worthy interpretation of Chapin's widely reproduced 19th Century illustration. We could find no reliable biographical information on Malindy.
