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.

18427307Philadelphia:: J.T.Bowen 1842. First edition. Fine. Fine condition. Original lithograph drawn printed and coloured at J.T. Bowen's Lithographic Establishment No 94 Walnut Street Philadelphia. Folio 14 x 20 inches. Untrimmed with rich original color. Archivally custom framed in 2.25 inch Walnut Burl Veneer with marquetry inlay. Triple matted in Rag Board with gilt French line decoration. Glazed with Conservation Glass. Sized to 22 x 26.5 inches. As stated in McKenney & Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America: The Chippeway Chief Katawabeda was an orator of no small repute. Expert and ready in debate his speeches were marked by shrewdness ingenuity and subtlety of argument and by simple brevity and force of expression. As the oil on canvas portrait of Ka-Ta-Wa-Be-Da by Charles Bird King after James Otto Lewis was destroyed by fire in 1865 this original hand-colored lithograph by JT Bowen is the only surviving rendering of this essential chapter of Americana. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century as the Native American people traveled to Washington DC to discuss their plight; the loss of their lands and destruction of their people they appealed to Thomas McKenney the then Chief to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in whom they found a sincere advocate in the efforts to improve the welfare of the Native American people. After meeting to discuss the situation McKenney invited every one of his guests to sit for formal portraits and included all members; not only the Chiefs but also the Warriors Braves and Women. A pioneer in the study of North American ethnology and superintendent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs under John C. Calhoun Thomas Loraine McKenney Chestertown MD 1785-1859 assembled in his war department office a virtual archive of the American Indian; a large collection of books manuscripts artifacts and paintings that constituted the first museum in Washington DC. The core of the collection was a gallery of 150 portraits of prominent Indian men and women most of them painted by Washington artist Charles Bird King Newport RI 1785-1862 during official visits to Washington. In addition King copied and painted several portraits after James Otto Lewis 1799-1858. These portraits were later published as part of a mammoth lithography project that McKenney conceived of and launched with the aid of writer James Hall Philadelphia 1793-1868. Known as the History of the Indian Tribes of North America the publication features the portraits and biographies of 120 Indian men and women from McKenneys collection. The entire archive eventually ended up at the Smithsonian Institution where the portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865. ANB. 0300320 Custom Framed in Period Moulding. J.T.Bowen, unknown
