Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American IndiansGeorge Catlin, 1866-1857CATLIN, George (1796-1872). Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians with Letters and Notes Written During Eight Years of Travel and Adventure. London: Henry Bohn, 1866 & 1857. A deluxe set of Catlin with hand-colored plates, comprising the tenth edition of volume one and the ninth edition of volume two. Catlin's 1841 Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians "quickly went through several editions and was soon translated into Swedish and German, but it never attained the success that Catlin, as publisher, hoped to achieve. Eventually, the British publishing firm of Henry Bohn acquired all of Catlin's rights. Bohn changed the title of Catlin's work, and besides the regular edition, offered hand-colored copies at ten guineas each. This practice began with the fifth edition and continued until the tenth, published in 1866" (America Pictured to the Life 55). Howes C-241; Sabin 11537. Two volumes, octavo (242 x 150mm). 313 hand-colored etchings on 180 plates, including three maps, one which one folding. Contemporary half morocco over marbled boards, all edges gilt (wear to joints). Provenance: Kenneth Hill (bookplate).
