London: Published by The Author, at The Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, Printed by Tosswill And Myers, 1841. Hardbound. VG, expertly rebacked with new spines and original publishers boards, retaining original endpapers with handwritten names and notes. Ornate art library bookplate in each volume. A very nice set of the first edition, first printing. Original green cloth covers with new matching spines and period paper printed labels. Vol. 1: viii, colored folding map, pp. 1-264 pp. Vol. 2: viii, map (non-folding), 266 pp. Both volumes copiously illustrated with engravings upon regular paper. Subtitled "Written During Eight years' Travel Amongst The Wildest Tribes of Indians in North America, In 1832, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39." "In Two Volumes, with Four Hundred illustrations, Carefully Engraved From The Original Paintings." This set measures 6.8" x 10.2". Third map is in Vol. 2, p 259. All plates signed G. Catlin on the left, and Tosswill & Myers on the right. Although the title page claims 400 illustrations, the numbering begins with 3 in Volume 1 and stops at 312 with the last illustration in Vol. 2 opposite p. 249. Folium Reservatum inserted between pages 126 and 127 (at base of second side, it states that Twenty copies privately reprinted, and on the front it claims it was only sent to "Scientific men,... who study MAN, will receive this addendum in this form, and, I believe, duly appreciate and protect it. It has to do with the technical aspects of a particular custom that had been previously referred to on page 126. ) Plates are not always bound in exact numerical order. No errata slip found, per se. First edition, first issue (with uncorrected error "Frederick" for "Zedekiah" on page 104, line 26 of Volume I).
