Illustrated Catalogue of the Collections Obtained from the Indians of New Mexico in 1880

Description

Author: Stevenson, James  (1840-1888)

Publisher: Smithsonian Institution

Pub Date:  1883

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Fair.  No tears, folds.  This item came from an old BAE volume that was falling apart, and I had rebound in hardcover.  There is a very small bend on the lower corner of the first few pages, and a couple of water marks on the edge of one illustration (does not affect the illustration).  Some bubbling to front and rear boards.

Notes: Stevenson collected more than 4900 items during his expedition to New Mexico pueblos in 1880-1881.  This 36 page catalog deals primarily with stone, clay, pottery, horn and shell items.  I don’t consider this a reading volume, more reference.  And the Pueblo of Zia is here spelled “Silla.”
