London, Henry G. Bohn, 1848. 26 x 15.5 cm. viii,264 + viii,265,[1] pp. Later green cloth. With 312 b/w illustrations by the author on 180 engraved plates, i.a. folding map and 2 full page maps. - Classic on North American Indians by George Catlin (1796-1872), American painter, author, and traveler, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Travelling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory. Unable to prove the civilized nature of the Native Americans may be why he later moved to England. He moved back to the United States in 1870, but society remained uninterested in his work. This is his best known work, published for the first time in 1841. [Jason Hamilton]. - Neat rebound copy, as mentioned on first blanks in 1953. Name and annotation on first blanks; folding map a bit wrinkled; plates mild foxing. A good set
