Lxiv, 329, [3] pages. Fold-out frontis illustration (somewhat creased). Illustrations. Introduction to the New Edition by J. G. MacGregor. Introduction by Lawrence J. Burpee. Catalogue of Paul Kane's paintings. Notes. Ink notes inside front cover and on fep. First edition was published in 1859 and a revised edition in 1825. Paul Kane (September 3, 1810-February 20, 1871) was an Irish-born Canadian painter, famous for his paintings of First Nations peoples in the Canadian West and other Native Americans in the Columbia District. Paul Kane grew up in Toronto and trained himself by copying European masters on a study trip through Europe. He undertook two voyages through the wild Canadian northwest in 1845 and from 1846 to 1848. On both trips Kane sketched and painted Aboriginal peoples and documented their lives. Upon his return to Toronto, he produced more than one hundred oil paintings from these sketches. Kane's work are still a valuable resource for ethnologists. Known primarily for his images of the western landscape and of the customs and visages of different Aboriginal peoples, Paul Kane made one of the most extensive pictorial records of the 19th century Northwest. When Kane set out in 1845, his artistic aim was to paint the Ojibwa as accurately as possible in a European tradition. He traveled and recorded for three years. He traveled from Fort William (Thunder Bay) to Fort Vancouver on the Pacific coast at a time when the fur trade was beginning to decline. In graphite, watercolor and oil on paper, Kane produced more than 700 sketches as well as journal descriptions. One hundred large-scale oil on canvas paintings depicting scenes of native life in North America were produced based on his field work.

8vo, 21.5cm, The First Edition, xvii, [1], 455p., appendix, with folding coloured frontis map and 8 full colour lithographed plates, 13 woodcut text illustrations, rebound in half calf over marbled boards, with leather label, wanting the half title, the map is wrinkled, the text has some smudge marks, or dust soiling, the plates have some occasional smudges on the margins, but are good clear impressions with vibrant hand colouring, good to very good. (cgc) Lande 1258. T.P.L. 2911. Peel 212. Sabin 37007. Howes K-7. Field 811. Graff 2262. Strathern 290. Wagner-Camp 332: 1. The son of an Irish immigrant to Toronto, Kane became one of Canada's most famous nineteenth century painters. After four years studying art in Europe, he returned to paint North American Indians. It was a time of cultivated interest in primitive societies and Kane's paintings somewhat romanticize his subjects. They are, however, an eloquent record of Indian culture as it was, largely untouched by White influence. He set out alone with paintbox and gun in 1845 and spent a summer in the Lake Huron and Lake Michigan regions, mainly sketching the Ojibway. For the next three years he went further west, often travelling with Hudson's Bay company fur traders. From this journey which took him across the Rockies and eventually to Vancouver Island he brought back several hundred sketches. Kane spent the following years in his studio developing the sketches into hundreds of oil paintings, eight of which are reproduced as colour lithographs in this book. The finest works are probably the portraits of Indian chiefs, but the scenes of tribal ceremonies and buffalo hunting on the plains have a poignant interest as a record of a vanished world. The text of the book is the diary Kane kept on his travels.

Contemporary tan half-calf with gilt spine, raised bands, and gilt red title label, over dark blue pebbled cloth. Marbled edges and endpapers. Some light handling and scuffing, and some minor professional restoration to covers. Lacks half-title page.

xvii, (1), 455, (6) pp. Octavo. Original burnt ochre stamped cloth with gilt titles on spine. Original coated endpapers with advertising. Book plate on front free endpaper. Eight colour lithographed plates (including frontispiece) complete with tissue guards, woodcut illustrations in text, and folding map (partly coloured with route indicated in red). A very clean copy with the original plate tissues and without the usual foxing on the plates. Peel 253; TPL 2911; Wagner-Camp 332: 1. Daily journal of Kane's three years travelling across the continent, studying and painting Indians as he went. Inspired by George Catlin, who he met in Europe, Kane left in June 1845 and spent the first season chiefly among the Ojibway around Lake Huron and Michigan. The following season he made his way via the Red River Settlement and the valley of the Saskatchewan to Fort Edmonton where he spent the winter of 1847-48, before continuing on to Puget Sound, via the Columbia then north to Vancouver Island. Scarce in this condition. The original client that this copy was purchased from bought it in London in 1944 for 1 Pound Sterling.
