Featured in this lot are ten George Catlin lithographs from "George Catlin's North American Indians, Volume 1" circa 1926. George Catlin (1796-1872) was an American adventurer, lawyer, painter, author, and traveler, who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Traveling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin wrote about and painted portraits that depicted the life of the Plains Indians. From 1832 to 1837, Catlin spent summers (and one winter) traveling with and documenting the life of Native Americans from the Sioux (Lakota), Blackfeet, Crow, Mandan and other tribes. With the advent of railroads, Catlin saw that American culture was moving from the East Coast toward the West and knew that the Native Americans way of life likely would drastically change as development reached them. He would sketch while out with the tribes and then return to his studio in the winter to add color. This lot includes ten colored lithographs from the book titled, "North Americans Indians: Vol. 1". They are numbered and feature Catlin's name on the bottom in black lettering reading, "G. Catlin". They show various Native Americans and scenes such as He Who Jumps Over Everyone, sun dances, the scalp dance and more. They show good condition overall with slight wear present from their age and handling over the years, but no signs of major damage are noted. They measure 6" L x 9 7/8" W, with a collective weight of under 6 ounces.
