1933réf. 18953Edinburgh: John Grant. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1933; 1934. New edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . just a bit of shelfwear and light bumping to bottom edges/corners one-time owner's rubber-stamped signature on front pastedowns both volumes; jackets are uniformly age-toned somewhat more at spines with general soiling and some wrinkling along the top edges but with no tears or chips. 2 photogravure ports.; 72 color plates; 2 maps Regrettably incomplete set Volumes I and III only; Volume II is not present of this classic work originally published in three folio volumes issued in 1836 1838 and 1844. The introduction to this "New Edition" by editor Hodge presents an account of the creation of the original work including much biographical information about the authors and an extensive bibliographical discussion of numerous editions that followed in particular the history of the work's most notable feature: the color portraits of many Native Americans primarily tribal chiefs. Because the portraits which hung originally at the War Department and later at the Smithsonian Institution had been painted from life and predated the widespread use of photography in many instances they represent the only existing images of their subjects; and because most of the originals were destroyed in the 1865 Smithsonian fire only the published reproductions remain. This edition contained 123 color plates in all of which 72 are present in the two volumes on offer as are the two color maps at the end of Volume III.

Originally published in twenty folio parts three folio volumes between 1836 and 1844 with 120 hand-colored lithographed plates. The first octavo edition appeared in 1848-1850 with the plates reduced.

All are highly desired today. "As early as 1824 the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who came to Washington and depositing them in the War Department. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King an artist of high repute who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M'Kinney sic who was for many years superintendent of Indian affairs at Washington and was thus brought in constant association with the principal men of the nations and tribes which sent representatives to the seat of government conceived the plan of making this rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copies and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent interspersed with anecdotes and narrations. The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian tribes within the borders of the United States" Sabin 43410a describing the 1836-1844 edition. "The original oil paintings of which the plates were copies were all destroyed in the 1865 Smithsonian fire" Howes. Howes M-129 "the most colorful portraits of Indians ever executed".

Neil Sheehan a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times is best known for his role in bringing the Pentagon Papers to public attention and for his landmark book "A Bright Shining Lie" while Susan Sheehan built a parallel reputation as a leading voice at The New Yorker crafting deeply reported narrative nonfiction on subjects ranging from mental health to social institutions earning her own Pulitzer Prize in 1983.
