The Natural Man Observed: A Study of Catlin's Indian Gallery

Inscribed by William H. Truettner on front end page. Hardcover and dust jacket. Tears to jacket with loss. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by author.* "In this comprehensive book, William Truettner moves well beyond the usual uncritical treatment of Catlin and his famous Indian paintings to a study of the artist as a person and as an 'artist naturalist,' examining in the process Catlin's scientific and cultural background and outlining his long and often ill-fated pursuit of success and recognition." This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
