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.

197852557Kent: Volair Limited 1978. First edition thus. Quarto. xxviii470pp. 5345pp. Finely gold-tooled leather in original brown cloth slipcase. All gilt edges. Raised bands. Ribbon marker. Silk-moire endpapers. Color frontispiece in Vol. I. Stunningly illustrated work by T. L. McKenney on American Indian Chiefs. <br /> <br /> Thomas Lorraine McKenney 1785 - 1859 was a United States official who served as Superintendent of Indian Trade and later as Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In the mid 1820's he went West to observe Indian tribes attempting to collect artifacts & portraits of notable native Americans. After this endeavor proved somewhat disappointing he commissioned Charles Bird King 1785 - 1862 to paint portraits of visiting Indian delegates in his Washington studio. The portraits were published in lithograph form in folio format in 1836 - 1844 accompanied with essays & biographies by James Hall 1793 - 1868. Hall was a popular author of Western topics. The spectacular lithographic plates are reproduced in this publication in smaller format. The majority of paintings were done by King some by Peter Rindisbacher 1806 - 1834 as well as some other artists. "For this edition by Volair which makes use of modern reproduction technology the beast features of the folio and octavo editions are combined. The portraits come from an original folio edition published by Frederich W. Greenough 1838-44. A remarkable feature of these portraits is that they include six by the renowned English lithographer Charles Hullmandel. Normally found only in the uncompleted European edition by Campbell these extremely rare lithographs are as follows: War Dance of the Sauks and Foxes Vol. I frontispiece Red Jacket Vol. I pg. 7 Mohongo Vol. I pg. 27 Shingaba W'Ossin Vol. I pg. 151 Pushmataha Vol. I pg. 183 and Kish-Kallo-Wa Vol. I pg. 449.The text of the Volair edition comes from the first octavo edition published by the lithographer J. T. Bowen 1848-50. For some reason Bowen rearranged the sequence of the portraits and biographical sketches. The Volair edition necessarily follows the revised arrangement; the only difference is that it is bound into two volumes instead of three." <br /> <br /> Minor fraying on slipcase which remains very sound. Books in fine condition as new. Elaborate publication in a stunning binding. Volair Limited unknown

193444548Edinburgh: John Grant 1934. Fine in very good jackets. 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. <br /> 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. <br /> 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.
