Additional Details



Contains chromolithographed plates by Rosenthal of birds, flowers and, most notably, Indians. "Another artist who lived among Native Americans and painted them beyond the bounds of civilization was Alfred Jacob Miller . . . the only publication Miller achieved, a pale reflection of what might have been, were five plates in this hodgepodge volume of hunting stories and natural history lore"--Reese, American Color Plate Books 28; Bennett, page 111; Henderson, page 188.
