Herskovits of Northwestern University. The text was adapted from the museum's labels by Muriel S. Wolle. Plates were made by members of the museum staff and by studens of the Denver Public Schools. The 5 color plates are original hand coloring and very vibrant. A very important work in its time. Scarce.
