CATLIN, George (1796-1872). Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio. Hunting Scenes and Amusements of the Rocky Mountains and Prairies of America. From Drawings and Notes of the Author, made during Eight Years' Travel amongst Forty-Eight of the Wildest and most Remote Tribes of Savages in North America , London: George Catlin Egypt Hall. c.1875.] 2° (590 x 330mm.). 31 tinted lithographic plates after Catlin and McGahey. (Lacking title and contents leaves, margins of first plate soiled, lower right margin stained several just affecting image area.) Contemporary half red morocco, gilt lettering to spine (head and foot of spine chipped, extremities rubbed). This expanded edition of Catlin's famous work on American Indians, includes an additional six unnumbered lithographs, comprising two portraits, a group portrait of Ojibways, two tribal dance scenes, and a hunting scene. These six extra plates were evidently executed in the 1840's when Catlin envisioned a series of Indian "Portfolios," but they were not printed and issued until Chatto & Windus acquired Henry Bohn's stock of, and copyright for, Catlin's North America Indian Portfolio in the mid-1870's. Howes C243; McCracken 10; Reese Issue III: 10; Wagner-Camp 105a; cf. Abbey Travel 653; cf. Sabin pp. 436.
