Notes |
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with 20 pages of text and the plates colored, with printed captions. Catlin himself published the very scarce first colored issue with the plates printed on full sheets of paper, unmounted. Although Catlin planned on producing a series of thematic portfolios reproducing images from his Indian Gallery, the publication overextended his resources. The publication of his North American Indian Portfolio was taken over by Henry Bohn.
