Notes

George Catlin (1796–1872) was an US-American writer, painter and engraver from Pennsylvania. He concentrated on paintings of Indians and travelled through the American continent, later publishing books relating his travels. The present text describes how he travelled to Ireland (Dublin) with a group of Iowa Indians, and how they were received.
