Beschreibung

[3]pp. on a folded sheet. Torn along the center fold, with some loss of paper but no loss of text. About very good. The rare prospectus for the very rare series of photographs taken by Humphrey Lloyd Hime on the Hind Expedition of 1858, the first expedition on which the wet-plate process was successfully used. Hime's are the earliest photographs of the Canadian West and among the earliest of Native Americans. This prospectus lists the thirty photographs in the Hogarth-issued portfolio, which was priced at two guineas. We are aware of only five complete sets of the Hime portfolio. A list of the photographs included in the portfolio is also found in Henry Youle Hind's Narrative. OCLC locates only one copy of this separately-issued prospectus at the time of cataloguing.
