Hand-colored lithographic dedication and 120 hand-colored lithographic plates , some heightened with gum arabic; Contemporary publisher's red gilt morocco, ruled in blind, all edges gilt. FIRST OCTAVO EDITION, after the folio edition of 1837-1844. ."Both authors saw th…eir book as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. The text, which was written by Hall based on information supplied by McKenney, takes the form of a series of biographies of leading figures amongst the Indian nations, followed by a general history of the North American Indians. The work is now famous for its color plate portraits of the chiefs, warriors and squaws of the various tribes, faithful copies of original oils by Charles Bird King painted from life in his studio in Washington (McKenney commissioned him to record the visiting Indian delegates) or worked up by King from the watercolors of the young frontier artist, James Otto Lewis. All but four of the original paintings were destroyed in the disastrous Smithsonian fire of 1865, so their appearance in this work preserves what is probably the best likeness of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the early 19th century. -- ReeseThomas McKenney assembled portraits of Native Americans by taking visiting Native American dignitaries to the studio of Charles Bird King in Washington, who would paint their portraits in oil. These formed part of a portrait gallery at the Smithsonian, which were all destroyed in the 1865 Smithsonian fire. McKenney endeavored to recreate the portraits in lithographs, resulting in the work's "long and checkered publication history [which] spanned twelve years and involved multiple lithographers (mainly Peter S. Duval and James T. Bowen) and publishers. " (Reese, Stamped With A National Character 24).

In 1857, the Mercantile Library Association of the City of Brooklyn was established, and the Mercantile Library of Brooklyn subsequently opened in a building shared by the Brooklyn Athanaeum and Reading Room. In 1865, the Brooklyn Library Association of the Eastern District was established for the purpose of establishing a library in Brooklyn's Eastern District, and in 1868, the Law Library in Brooklyn was established.

Expertly bound to style in brown half morocco over contemporary marbled paper-covered boards, the flat spine divided into six compartments by double gilt fillets, lettered in gilt in the second compartment [ABORIGINAL | PORTFOLIO] One of the rarest 19th-century American color plate books and the first important series of Native American portraits to be published in the United States. Lewis captures granular visual details of these indigenous leaders, but also their individual grandeur; Lewis's subjects stare back at the viewer possessedly across two hundred years of dispossession. This copy with a complete set of all the printed paper wrappers. "Lewis is about to publish in numbers, a collection of Indian lithographic portraits taken by him during a residence of about fifteen years among the various tribes of the west. He has succeeded in obtaining numerous portraits, all of which are remarkably true to nature. Some of the lithographs we have examined, and we are sure that they are well calculated to excite interest." - St. Louis Commercial Bulletin, May 18, 1835. The Aboriginal Portfolio is the first published portrait collection of prominent Native American leaders, made "on the spot and in the field." It precedes and is rarer than George Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio, Maximilian's Reise in das Innere Nord-America, and Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall's History of the Indian Tribes (itself deriviative of Lewis, using 27 of his portraits). The Portfolio is one of the earliest extended, monumental projects in American hand-colored lithography, and one of the first thorough works to document a subject beyond the East Coast of the United States. At a time when westward expansion, European influence, and reactionary US government policies were irreversibly reshaping Native communities, Lewis embarked on a mission to commemorate and record their diversity and heritage. The plates depict eminent chiefs and notable tribal members in distinguished poses with great detail, the portraits imbued with personality, recording their mode of dress, face paint, jewelry, weapons, and other accoutrements. Below each likeness is the name of the sitter along with their rank and tribal affiliation, which include, among others, Sioux, Miami, Chippawa, Ioway, Shawnee, Pottowattomie, Winnebago, Monomonie, Ottawa, Fox, and Sac. James Otto Lewis was born in Philadelphia in 1799, and went west with a theatrical troupe at the age of sixteen. In St. Louis he began working as an engraver and miniature portraitist. There he met the painter Chester Harding (1792-1866) whose popular depiction of Daniel Boone is the only portrait for which Boone is known to have sat. Lewis engraved this portrait for Harding; only one example survives and it is the earliest known print made west of the Mississippi. Lewis then lived in Detroit, where, in 1823, the governor of Michigan Lewis Cass asked him to paint Tens-qua-ta-wa, a Shawnee prophet in an official diplomatic delegation to the city (plate 67). Cass sent this portrait to the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and a later competitior to Lewis, Thomas L. McKenney, and suggested Lewis be given $200 and be named an official government portraitist of Indian councils in the Great Lakes region. In this position, Lewis attended many treaty councils, including those at Prairie du Chien (plate 17) and Butte des Mort (plate 49). The Aboriginal Portfolio grows out of the drawings and paintings Lewis.
