Illustrations of the Manners, Customes, & Condition of the North American IndiansGeorge Catlin, 1876CATLIN, George (1796-1872). Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, & Condition of the North American Indians. London: Chatto & Windus, 1876. First edition with the plates printed in color of "one of the most important works on American Indians, and arguably one of the most significant American books of the 19th century" (Best of the West). It was first published in 1841 with line drawings after Catlin's original paintings, and went through many editions. Catlin sold the copyright to printer Henry Bohn, who upon his retirement sold it to Chatto & Windus, who based the chromolithographs in this edition on the desirable hand-colored copies produced by Bohn. See Howes C-241 and Best of the West 77 (first edition). Two volumes, octavo (251 x 158mm). 180 chromolithographed plates, including 3 maps, one of which folding (a few spots, about 4 plates in vol 2 loose from binding). Publisher's pictorial red cloth gilt (rebacked preserving original spine panels, a little tender).
