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. 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." Minor fraying on slipcase which remains very sound. Books in fine condition as new. Elaborate publication in a stunning binding. Volair Limited unknown

He started by taking visiting Native American dignitaries to the studio of Charles Bird King in Washington who would paint their portraits in oil some copies for the dignitaries and some collected by McKenney. These portraits were eventually preserved in the War Department's "Indian Gallery" becoming part of the Smithsonian in 1858. The collection boasted 147 of McKenney's portraits of Native Americans alongside about 200 paintings by John Mix Stanley when it burned to the ground in 1865.Thankfully beginning in 1829 McKenney had embarked on a project to preserve his oil portraits in lithography rescuing most of these important projects for posterity. In September 1829 he signed a contract to publish a work to consist of a history biographies and 120 lithographed plates. The works were issued serially in wrappers and the first volume was collected and published in 1836. By the time the 3rd volume appeared in 1844 15 years after the first contracts were signed the monumental work had consumed six publishers and employed 5 different lithographers."Its long and checkered publication history spanned twelve years and involved multiple lithographers mainly Peter S. Duval and James T. Bowen and publishers but the final product is one of the most distinctive and important books in Americana. Almost all the plates are portraits of individual Native Americans the majority painted from life by Charles Bird King" Reese.This copy in its original contemporary binding is from the contemporary American publisher Louis A. Godey. Godey was most famous for the influential Godey's Lady's Book beginning in 1830 famous for their representations of women's fashion employing hand-tinted lithographic plates.

All are highly desired today. "As early as 1824 the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who came to Washington and depositing them in the War Department. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King an artist of high repute who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M'Kinney sic who was for many years superintendent of Indian affairs at Washington and was thus brought in constant association with the principal men of the nations and tribes which sent representatives to the seat of government conceived the plan of making this rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copies and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent interspersed with anecdotes and narrations. The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian tribes within the borders of the United States" Sabin 43410a describing the 1836-1844 edition.

HISTORY OF THE INDIAN TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA

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. 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. 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.

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.
