Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. Reissue. Edges and boards lightly soiled, internally clean and bright. 1970 Hard Cover. 1970 facsimile of 1933 John Grant edition, with an introduction providing bibliographical details for various editions, which makes this edition valuable to those interested in its printing history, despite all the illustrations being reproduced in black-and-white. Two fold-out maps follow text in volume 3. "Thomas Loraine McKenney (1785-1859) served as Commissioner of Indian Affairs from 1824 to 1830. In that capacity he commissioned and collected portraits of Native Americans for his Gallery in the War Department. McKenney's goal was to publish a record of vanishing peoples: portraits, biographical sketches and a history of North American Indians. He accomplished this in the first issue of the History of the Indian Tribes of North America, published in three volumes between 1838 and 1844. James Hall (1793-1868) provided the text." - University of Cincinnati Libraries.…

[just a bit of shelfwear and light bumping to bottom edges/corners, one-time owner's rubber-stamped signature on front pastedowns (both volumes); jackets are uniformly age-toned (somewhat more at spines), with general soiling and some wrinkling along the top edges, but with no tears or chips]. (2 photogravure ports.; 72 color plates; 2 maps) Regrettably incomplete set (Volumes I and III only; Volume II is not present) of this classic work, originally published in three folio volumes issued in 1836, 1838 and 1844. The introduction to this "New Edition," by editor Hodge, presents an account of the creation of the original work (including much biographical information about the authors) and an extensive bibliographical discussion of numerous editions that followed, in particular the history of the work's most notable feature: the color portraits of many Native Americans, primarily tribal chiefs. Because the portraits, which hung originally at the War Department and later at the Smithsonian Institution, had been painted from life (and predated the widespread use of photography), in many instances they represent the only existing images of their subjects; and because most of the originals were destroyed in the 1865 Smithsonian fire, only the published reproductions remain. This edition contained 123 color plates in all, of which 72 are present in the two volumes on offer, as are the two color maps, at the end of Volume III. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of these heavy volumes; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Bookplates on inside front covers say, "The Library. Alexandria Library." Rubberstamps on free endpapers, Half titles, title page and the backs of all the plates. Title page has an additional rubberstamp that says 'Farouk Central Library.' Volume 1 has 442 pages. Volume 2 has 458 pages. Volume 3 has 355 pages. According to handwritten notes on the title pages, the plate counts in each volume are: volume 1 has 48 plates. Volume 2 has 50 plates. Volume 3 has 23 plates and 2 maps. McKenney and Hall's famous book (and more famous illustrations) was first published between 1836 and 1844. Its brilliant color plates (color lithographs after the original paintings by Charles Bird King and others) made it an immediate sensation. This reprint, 100 years after the original, faithfully reproduces all the plates in full color. Although this is an ex-library copy, it remains in quite good condition, although we all wish the rubberstamps weren't there. Please email to request photos.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Fine in very good jackets. dj. Important edition of the monumental visual record of Native American leaders, including an extensive account of the original 1836-44 folio edition, biography of the original authors, and the infamous Smithsonian fire - all new to this edition. Thomas L. McKenney, a Quaker, served as the US Government's Superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1824 to 1830. During this period he worked with the renowned American artist Charles Bird King, commissioning the artist to paint portraits of Native leaders who were visiting the government in DC. The fame of the paintings soon spread, and McKenney conceived of a massive printing project to record them in book form. At the same time, incoming president Andrew Jackson fired McKenney, after McKenney fundamentally rejected Jackson's stance on the US's relationship with Indigenous nations. Suddenly jobless, McKenney threw himself into the project, mounting one of the most ambitious book projects ever seen in the United States up to that time: three elephant folio volumes containing 120 hand-colored plates. Already a significant record of leaders and their nations, the books took on supreme importance as a cultural document after a fire at the Smithsonian engulfed the majority of Charles Bird King's original paintings. This edition made the production accessible in the 20th century beyond the increasing rarity of the 19th-century folio and octavo editions. Its introduction by Hodge captures the growing legend of the story behind the production, detailing the delays and obstacles that threatened more than once to end the project. A noteworthy edition, mythologizing and making accessible the story of a critical record of Indigenous nations in the pre-Jacksonian era. 3 thick octavo volumes, 9.25'' x 6.75'' each. Original blue pictorial cloth stamped in blind, gilt-lettered spines. In original typographic dust jackets (no price on flaps). Top edges gilt, other edges uncut, some leaves unopened. Illustrated with two photogravure portraits (of McKenney and Hall), 123 full-page color plates after King's paintings with captions tissue guards, and 2 color folding maps. Volume I with historical introduction by Frederick Webb Hodge. lxiv, 442, [2]; viii, 458, [2]; xvi, 355 pages. Jackets with a bit of creasing, some soiling. Cloth and interior fresh and bright. …
