Henry Rowe Schoolcraft's 1851 government survey of the Indian tribes of the United States, published in Philadelphia by Lippincott, Grambo & Company for Congress and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The plates show archaeological finds, pottery and arrowheads, and rock carvings with a horse and rider, drawn as careful lithographs. A designer could draw on their clean outline drawings of artifacts and the flat, cream-toned plate layouts.
