The North American Indian
Between 1929 and 1952 C. Szwedzicki, a publisher in Nice, France, produced six portfolios of North American Indian art. The publications were edited by American scholars Oscar Brousse Jacobson, Hartley Burr Alexander and Kenneth Milton Chapman. Many of the images were published as pochoir prints which are similar in appearance to silk screen prints. These works represent original works by 20th Century American Indian artists. Important documentation of the Battle of the Little Big Horn is provided in the reproduction of the now lost ledger art of Amos Bad Heart Bull.
The University of Cincinnati Digital Press publication of C. Szwedzicki: The North American Indian is anticipated for 2006. The contents are drawn primarily from holdings of the Archives & Rare Books Department, University of Cincinnati Libraries, but also include materials from the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County and the Yale Collection of Western Americana.
C. Szwedzicki: The North American Indian is anticipated to be a dvd publication containing 357 images at 5 resolutions, all texts as well as maps of the image sites, and an extensive bibliography, for the following publications:Jacobson, Oscar Brousse, 1882-1966.
