Images of Native Americans <http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/Exhibits/nativeamericans/index.html>. Created and maintained by the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. Reviewed April 8, 2003.
|
Images of Native Americans is an exhibition created on the occasion of the Bancroft Library's acquisition of its nine millionth volume, James Otto Lewis's The Aboriginal Port Folio (1836), which was the first book illustrated with color plate images of Native Americans published in the United States. The Web site offers an exceptional introduction to this artist's work and its relationship to subsequent scientific and popular representations of American Indians. While there are several exceptional print and online studies devoted to aspects of the materials presented here, the library has found wonderful and idiosyncratic examples in its rich collection of books and manuscripts. |
