About This Item

New York: Promontory Press, 1981 Catlin produced a body of work which is not only one of the major achievements in American art, but one of the first triumphs of American anthropology: an incomparable record of Indian faces and personalities, painted with such vividness and realism, the descendents of the Catlin’s sitters can recognize their ancestors. Condition notes: 207 numbered pp; HB w/DJ. Pages: clean, bright, tight. Cover: brown paper over boards, gilt titles spine; minimal shelfwear, a few dimples to b.e. DJ: unclipped in Brodart, full color artwork Little Wolf + black titles to front, red titles to black spine; minimal edge/shelfwear. A very nice copy indeed.
