ART! George Catlin DRAWINGS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS 1st Ed Book #378

Description: This vintage hardcover book should be of interest to any student of historic apparel of the Indigenous peoples of North America. It features detailed pencil drawings by George Catlin, a renowned 19th century artist who captured the beauty of North American Indian culture before it was gone forever. Like Edward S. Curtis, an American photographer and ethnologist whose work focused on the American West and on Native American people, using a camera to capture images for posterity, Catlin accomplished this with his drawings and paintings. He visited 45 tribes within a decade and made 215 pencil portraits and notes. Published by Doubleday Religious Publishing Group, T.H.E., in 1984, this first edition comes in a hard slip case and has 480 pages of nonfiction narrative and detailed pencil drawings. The book measures 13 inches in length, 9.5 inches in height, and 2.5 inches in width, with a weight of 8.4 ounces. The book is in excellent condition, although the slip cover is slightly faded, and a must-have for anyone interested in Native American history and culture. It contains no inscriptions or personalization and is not signed. The pages are all pristine, clean and crisp. The illustrations are accompanied by insightful commentary by Catlin and are sure to captivate any researcher or reader.
