London: Chatto & Windus, 1876. Hardbound. Original red cloth covers with extensively gilt embossing and design of Indians on front covers and spines. Vol. 1: Colored frontpiece (same frontispiece found in Vol. 1 of the 1841 edition), tp., viii, colored folding map, pp. 1-264 pp., with 76 sheets of colored figures (numbering 1-114) . Vol. 2: frontispiece colored map numbered as plate 77 (same map found after the preliminaries in the first edition from 1841), tp, viii, 266 pp., Colored plates 77-179 (containing colored figures 115-312), and color sheet 180, which is the third map. VG, expertly rebacked with new spines and original publishers boards, retaining original endpapers with handwritten names and notes. Ornate art library bookplate in each volume. A very nice set of the first generally available colored edition. Some old darkening to the rear cover of Vol. 2, and some loss to the word "Indian" on Vol. 1 spine, and to the design to the left of the Indian on Vol. 1, not bad, but needs to be mentioned. A very nice set. Item #115318

This set measures 6.8" x 10.2". Although the title page claims 360 illustrations, the numbering does not bear this out. Folium Reservatum (copied from a sheet found in a copy of the first edition) laid-in between pages 126 and 127 (at base of second side, it states that Twenty copies privately reprinted, and on the front it claims it was only sent to "Scientific men,... who study MAN, will receive this addendum in this form, and, I believe, duly appreciate and protect it." It has to do with the technical aspects of a particular custom that had been previously referred to on page 126. ) Plates are not always bound in exact numerical order. A very nice set.
