The New York Public Library’s early efforts to collect Native American
portraiture were greatly aided by gifts and purchases made by Dr.
Wilberforce Eames and J.P. Morgan. Morgan was a sponsor of Edward S.
Curtis’s massive survey of North American Native Americans and Eames was the
Library’s bibliographer. This particular digital collection from the Library
brings together some of these early acquisitions, including George Caitlin’s
“North American Indian Portfolio” from 1845 and Frederic Allen Williams’
“Photographs of American Indians”. In total, this digital collection
includes 369 prints and drawings. Visitors can browse through each portfolio
at their leisure, or they can also elect to search through the entire
collection by title or keyword. [KMG]
