Hardback. Zustand: Good. This volume presents 40 oil paintings by George Catlin (1796 1872), one of the first artists of European descent to travel up the Missouri river following the buffalo and the native Americans who hunted them.

But he was also the first to champion the notion of a national park to protect the buffalo and native American people, that he portrayed so vividly in his paintings.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Presenting forty major oil paintings by George Catlin from the mid-late 1830s, this volume re-examines the legacy of this complex artist.
