Book First Edition
First edition thus. Quarto. xxviii,470pp. 534,[5]pp. 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.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 2 vol. 8vo; tan leather dec in gilt; spine with 5 raised bands, gilt dec and title; aeg; moire eps; vols enclosed in brown cloth cov. slipcase. The volumes appear almost never to have been opened;pp. xxvii, 470, vii, 534, 4. This is a rare octavo reprint of the famous work orig. published by the authors in 1836, 1838, and 1844 as a folio in 3 volumes. The plates are considered to be among the greatest done of indians and are brilliantly colored. Unfortunately, early editions are quite scarce and extremely expensive, many volumes having been broken for the large plates which go for many thousands of dollars individually. The plates are faithfully reproduced in this set, although 8vo rather than folio, and certainly not as bright as the originals. This set, in itself, is scarce, and becoming more valuable with time. Photos available by request. International customers will be charged actual shipping costs. These volumes are quite heavy and may require additional postage.
