- Lot Description
North America, United States, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Willis P. Hazard at 190 Chestnut Street, ca. 1857 CE. A fascinating pair of codices containing volumes 1 and 2 of "Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and Conditions of the North American Indians," both written by George Catlin (1796 to 1872) and published in Philadelphia in 1857. The first volume contains 402 pages, while the second has 792 pages. Each of the books are bound with brown cloth covers adorned with tinned decoration of the title and the image of a Native American on the spine and another Native American riding a rearing horse on the cover. Illustrated with hundreds of line-cut reductions of his original paintings. Size (both about the same): 6.25" L x 1.75" W x 9.25" H (15.9 cm x 4.4 cm x 23.5 cm)
In 1830, George Catlin - lawyer turned portraitist - left his home in Pennsylvania to travel the American West and record on canvas portraits of North American Indians and their ways of life. After 8 years among the major tribes of the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, he created an "Indian Gallery," comprised of more than 400 paintings and an expansive collection of artifacts he had collected during his travels. This example is one of the first detailed and illustrated descriptions of the Native American West and includes a travelogue of Catlin's adventures, as well as his anthropological observations of North American Indian ceremonies, dances, hunting methods, warfare, and daily life.
