Item description from seller

Paperback. The American artist George Catlin (17961872) was fascinated by the indigenous people of his homeland and spent many years living among them, painting them, and collecting their artefacts. In 1839 he took his vast collection to Europe to exhibit it, and he also toured with groups of visiting Native Americans. This illustrated two-volume account of his experiences was published in 1848. In Volume 2, Catlin discusses his travels with visiting Native Americans to Dublin, and later Paris, where he staged another exhibition and met King Louis Philippe. The final chapter recounts Catlin's attempt to sell his entire collection to the United States government to preserve 'all the records of this dying race'. His earlier account, Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians (1841), is also reissued in this series, along with two later books for children about life among various tribes. After years of painting Native Americans and accumulating their artefacts, American artist George Catlin (17961872) took his collection to Europe. He recalls the experience in this two-volume account, published in 1848. In Volume 2, Catlin travels with the Native Americans to Paris, where he stages an exhibition. This item is printed on demand.
