CATLIN, George (1796–1872). Illustrations of the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians with Letters and Notes Written During Eight Years of Travel and Adventure . London: Henry Bohn, 1866. Final Bohn edition, hand-colored copy. Catlin's 1841 Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians "quickly went through several editions and was soon translated into Swedish and German, but it never attained the success that Catlin, as publisher, hoped to achieve. Eventually, the British publishing firm of Henry Bohn acquired all of Catlin's rights. Bohn changed the title of Catlin's work, and besides the regular edition, offered hand-colored copies at ten guineas each. This practice began with the fifth edition and continued until the tenth, published in 1866" ( America Pictured to the Life 55). Howes C-241; Sabin 11537; Streeter sale 4277; Wagner-Camp 84. Two volumes, octavo (240 x 160mm). 180 hand-colored plates, including three maps, one of which is folding (occasional light spotting sometimes affecting plates). Contemporary morocco, covered paneled in blind, spine lettered in gold, marbled endleaves, edges marbled (few light marks, joints rubbed).
