CATLIN, George (1796-1872). Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians. London: Published by the Author, 1841.
2 volumes, 8o. Frontispiece, 3 maps, and 308 plates (of 309, lacking plate 201½) on 176 leaves. (Occasional pale spotting, some very light browning.) Original green cloth, paper spine labels (worn, textblock separated from cover of vol. I, spine cracked on vol. II). FIRST EDITION.
