Legacy and Legend: Images of Indians From Four Centuries August 17, 2007

'Legacy and Legend' explores how North American Indians have been depicted in images from the 1500s to the early 1900s. The exhibition features extraordinary rare material, including what is believed to be the first image depicting Indians in a woodcut that accompanied an account of Columbus' western hemisphere landing, published in 1495. Also on view is the first lithograph of an Indian by Swiss artist Peter Rindisbacher and stunning portraits published by Thomas McKenny and James Hall.
