Philadelphia: Frederick W. Greenbough, 1838. First Edition. Hardcover. Some rubbing to the binding; plates clean and bright. About Fine. The first volume of this magnificent three-volume set. Folio (14-3/4" x 21") bound in contemporary half red morocco leather with matching corners and marbled boards, gilt-decorated spine with six raised bands and matching black morocco spine labels. Illustrated with 48 beautiful hand-colored lithographs of Native Americans based on original oil portraits painted from life in the studio of Charles Bird King, to whom McKenney brought many of the subjects. The rest were copied from watercolors executed in the field by a young frontier artist named James Otto Lewis. The finished portraits were housed in the Smithsonian where all but four were destroyed in a fire in 1865. Their appearance here is not only the best but in many cases the only likenesses of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the nineteenth century.
