ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1955 



Persons wishing to order pIiotogTaphs of paintings in this collec- 

 tion will find Catlin's 2- volume work (Catlin, 1841) a helpful refer- 

 ence for identifying many subjects. The majority of the subjects in 

 this collection were reproduced as line illustrations in that publica- 

 tion. As a general rule, however, the large oil portraits (28" x 23''), 

 the landscapes, and many of the scenes in Indian life are more at- 

 tractively rendered than are the same subjects in the little book 

 illustrations. Those subjects not reproduced in Catlin's book are 

 preceded by an asterisk in this list. Many of them never have been 

 published.
