By James Otto Lewis

Book Overview

The North American Aboriginal Portfolio, published in 1839, is a collection of illustrations and descriptions of Native American tribes and their cultures. The book was authored by James Otto Lewis, a painter and illustrator who had a deep interest in the traditions and customs of the Indigenous peoples of North America. The portfolio includes 31 hand-colored lithographs of Native American chiefs, warriors, and women, as well as scenes of daily life, ceremonies, and rituals. Each illustration is accompanied by a brief description of the tribe and its customs, providing a valuable historical record of Native American culture at the time.
