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.

American Indian print collection
Visual Materials
This collection consists of more than 120 prints of American Indians during the 18th to 19th centuries. The images primarily portray romanticized views of Native Americans, including, but not limited to, their daily life, peaceful and violent interactions with Europeans and Americans, and portraits of important leaders and figures. The majority of the tribes depicted in the prints are located on the East Coast and in the Midwest. The collection contains portraits of notable Native Americans including Pocahontas, Red Jacket, Philip (Metacom) of the Wampanogas, Samson Occom, Powhatan, Theyanoguin, and Tecumseh. Prominent Europeans and Americans appear as well, including Captain John Smith, William Augustus Bowles, William Penn, Zachary Taylor, and William Henry Harrison. A significant portion of the prints are of bison hunting and Indian ceremonies by artist George Catlin and various Indian daily life scenes by artist Seth Eastman. Other notable images consist of battles between Indians and American settlers and soldiers, Indians playing ball games, dance ceremonies, caring for crops, and Christian missionaries among the Indians. The items incorporate intaglio, planographic, and relief printing techniques and include lithographs, wood engravings, engravings, and mezzotints. Box 1 holds 18 prints (1-9; 11-18; 31), Box 2 holds 111 prints (10:1; 19-30; 32-84).
