Stu-mick-o-súcks (Buffalo Bull's Back Fat)

Stu-mick-o-súcks (Buffalo Bull's Back Fat), George Catlin
I'd never heard of George Catlin before but was fascinated by his portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Wikipedia tells us: Traveling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory. And that is also fascinating.
