Red Cloud was one of the most significant Native American leaders of the 19th century: the only Native American commander to win a war against the United States government (Red Cloud's War, 1866-68), forcing the U.S. to abandon forts along the Bozeman Trail and sign the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. Published in 1877, in the aftermath of the Great Sioux War following the Little Bighorn, this delegation scene captures Red Cloud navigating the post-war political landscape that would define the reservation era. A significant piece of Oglala Lakota and Native American diplomatic history.\n\n๐Ÿงบ ONE-THIRD PAGE โ€” \"MISSION INDIANS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA โ€” MAKING BASKETS AND HAIR ROPES\"\nA one-third page illustration of Mission Indians in Southern California making baskets and hair ropes โ€” a vivid piece of California Native American cultural history, documenting the traditional crafts of the indigenous people of the Southern California missions.

The federal government's campaign against moonshining in the Kentucky mountains was one of the defining law enforcement stories of the Gilded Age, and these five scenes capture the secret stills, the mountain distillers, and the cat-and-mouse with revenue agents. A vivid and significant piece of Kentucky and Appalachian social history.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐ŸŒŠ THE SUPPLEMENT\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐ŸŸ FULL PAGE โ€” \"HERRING FISHING โ€” A CATCH BY LANTERN LIGHT\"\nA magnificent full-page nocturnal illustration of herring fishermen hauling their catch by lantern light โ€” a beautifully atmospheric composition of fishermen in a boat at night, the lantern casting a warm glow across the nets and fish, the dark water and sky surrounding them. A stunning and very frameable piece of Victorian maritime and fishing industry illustration.\n\n๐Ÿคผ ILLUSTRATION โ€” \"WRESTLING AT BARODA โ€” THE CHAMPION AT PLAY\"\nAn illustration of Indian wrestling at Baroda โ€” a large crowd of spectators surrounding an athlete performing before them, a vivid piece of Victorian Indian sports and culture. Baroda (modern Vadodara) in Gujarat was the seat of the Gaekwad dynasty, one of the most cultured of the princely states of British India, and its wrestling traditions were renowned.\n\n๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ILLUSTRATION โ€” \"THE FAMINE IN CHINA โ€” A MOTHER SELLING HER CHILDREN TO PROCURE BREAD\"\nA harrowing supplement illustration of the China famine โ€” a mother surrendering her children to buyers in a desperate act of survival. The North China Famine of 1876-1879 was one of the deadliest famines in human history, killing an estimated 9 to 13 million people in the provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. This illustration is a primary document of one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of the 19th century, published as missionary and relief organizations were raising awareness and funds in the West. A historically significant and deeply moving piece of Victorian humanitarian and Chinese history.\n\n๐ŸŒ™ LARGE ILLUSTRATION โ€” \"ON DUTY\"\nA dramatic nocturnal illustration of a solitary mounted rider in darkness and rain โ€” horse and rider barely visible against the stormy night, a lantern glowing faintly.
