Drawing by Emily Inez Denny entitled, "Chief Seattle shaking hands with D.T. Denny at site of West Seattle, Sept. 25, '51"
The daughter of one of Seattle’s founding families Emily Inez Denny (1853 – 1918) was both a painter and writer. Greatly influenced by seeing the drawings of Sarah Willoughby as a student at the Washington Territorial University, she took on painting as a life-long pursuit. Emily’s father was David Denny, who is depicted in this drawing, and one of the first white settlers in the Seattle area. He supported her artistic aspirations and frequently brought home printing paper from the newspaper office for her use.
