Summary

"Col. Daniel Boone", engraving by James Otto Lewis, based on a lost 1820 painting by Chester Harding. In 1861, Harding destroyed the original painting, which had been painted on ordinary table oilcloth and was aging poorly, by cutting out the head and putting it on a new canvas. Lewis's engraving is the only remaining version of the original full-length portrait. This engraving accurately depicts Boone's clothing—later depictions often inaccurately put Boone in a coonskin cap.
