Additional Details

"Jacobson and Howe sought to convey in fifty plates the incredible diversity in Native American dress in the historic period ... After a brief introductory essay on the materials and varieties of indigenous dress, Jacobson wrote lengthy captions providing a great deal of specific cultural and historical data, with only a small amount of analysis of clothing style." -- Janet Catherine Berlo, "The Szwedzicki Portfolios: Native American Fine Art and American Visual Culture 1917-1952" (University of Cincinnati Libraries, October 2008).
