New Haven: Overland Press, 2008. [4]-46 pp. Illustrated with 17 plates including the frontispiece (16 plates in colour).

Illustrated covers

A definitive examination of the groundbreaking work of James Otto Lewis.

Lewis' Aboriginal Port Folio (1835-1836) was one of the first major publications to depict Native American leaders and ceremonies in hand-colored lithographs. Reese meticulously documents the history and significance of Lewis's portfolio, which served as a precursor to the better-known works of McKenney and Hall. This volume provides a detailed narrative of the Aboriginal Port Folio's creation, publication, and reception, as well as its role in shaping public perceptions of Native American culture during the 19th century.
