Description

2 volumes, 8vo. 320 color-printed illustrations after Catlin's original paintings. Publisher's red pictorial cloth (spines slightly faded, some wear to extremities, a few short splits to spine ends, a few hinges starting). Provenance: Harold Osterberg (bookplates).

Later edition of Catlin's work, first published in 1841 and reprinted many times, which served as "the basis for much Plains ethnology.... Today [Catlin's] work is criticized for its unrelenting Romanticism, but it is treasured by historians and anthropologists alike, who value his attention to details and brave dedication to his task" (Tyler, Prints of the American West, pp. 46-55).
