Rare Books
The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports was published from 1830 to 1833 by Philadelphians John and Thomas Doughty. The short-lived magazine featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly described flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. Fellow artist and naturalist Titian Peale contributed an image of an Indian mounted on horseback taking aim at a charging buffalo. The drawing was based on Peale's sketches made as a member of the expedition led by Stephen H. Long to explore the Great Plains in 1819-1820.
