Chahta leksikon. : A Choctaw in English definition. For the Choctaw academies and schools
Chahta leksikon is a Choctaw-English dictionary compiled by Allen Wright and printed in St. Louis in 1880 by the Presbyterian Publishing Company for Choctaw academies and schools. Its pictures are commercial trade illustrations from a St. Louis merchant catalogue: a Charter Oak cookstove, a Keen Kutter axe with a shield-shaped badge, and ornate Dry Goods lettering. A designer might take from them the crisp black-line engraving style, decorative shield badges, and ornamented display type.
