Manuscripts
Fifty-four drawings by Franz Hölzlhuber of clothing, tools, weapons, instruments, and hides used by Native Americans, as well as portraits of individual Native American men and women (Menomonee, Chippewa, Winnebago, Comanche, Oneida, Blackhawk, Ponca, Sioux, Pawnee, Concaw, Oshkosh, Ottoe) in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Hölzlhuber titled the drawings on the front (in German) and there is text on the verso of the drawings (also in German). Also present is the original housing of the drawings, a volume that was entitled "Costüm-Bilder waffen und Geräthshaften einiger Indianerstamme im Nordwesten America." Box 6 contains photocopies of the German text on the versos of the drawings. There are no English translations.
