These wonderful
hand colored lithographs are from the Octavo edition of McKenney & Hall's
"The History of the Indian Tribes of North America". After the larger folio size edition was completed, it was decided to produce an edition in the smaller "royal" octavo size beginning in 1848 with later editions produced from 1854 to 1870. These individual portraits of the important Indian figures of the time are considered today to be the best record of our early American Indian history and a much sought after work among collectors and historians alike. These are beautiful and historical works of art that portray the Native American Indian as he was known to be in the early 1800's. A very rare piece of American & Indian history that is considered one of the best produced lithographic work ever done in America.
