EASTMAN, Mary H[enderson]. THE AMERICAN ABORIGINAL PORTFOLIO. 
Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo & Co., (1853). First Edition. Small 
Folio (9-1/2" x 12-1/2") bound in the publisher's gilt-decorated blue 
cloth, all edges gilt. Illustrated with an engraved title page and 26 
steel-engraved plates by Seth Eastman, the author's husband and one of 
the finest artists of the frontier American West. The Eastmans depict in 
words and pictures from their own firsthand experiences the life and 
manners of Native Americans in the 1840s. The plates are generally 
bright and fresh with all tissue guards present. There are spots of 
foxing here and there to some of the text pages and some of the plates. 
The binding is completely original with no restoration. The spine edges 
and tips are somewhat worn and the spine is rubbed, but the gilt is 
still visible. The covers are bright and strong. Still a Near Fine copy 
of this important title. (#013983)        $2,100.00
