  Promotional brochure for "Rinehart's Prints of Historic American Indians,"

  Visual Materials

  This brochure appears to have been created to promote sales of "Rinehart's Prints of Historic American Indians," a special-edition volume published around 1962, of photographs of Native Americans made by Frank A. Rinehart during the 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition in Omaha, Nebraska. The brochure has paper covers and 10 photographs tied with leather string. The first three photographs are copies of letters addressed to the publisher, George Marsden of Rinehart-Marsden Studio, and dated 1962: one from the Yale University Library, praising the album; one from the U.S. Department of the Interior recounting their pleasure at having visited Marsden at the studio and viewing the Rinehart collection; and one from the Joslyn Center of the Society of Liberal Arts in Omaha thanking Marsden for his gift of Rinehart Native American prints. The letters are followed by seven photographs of the album: its cover, imprinted "Rinehart's North American Indians," the title page, and five photographs of hands holding the album's pages open to a different portrait.
