Antique print titled 'Mih-Tutta-Hangkusch'. Hand-coloured aquating of a Mandan village by Salathé after Bodmer. In response to raids by its neighbours, the Mandan Tribe consolidated its people in two main villages: Mih-Tutta-Hang-Kusch and Ruhptare. Mih-Tutta-Hang-Kusch, the larger of these, is represented here by Bodmer as it appeared in the summer of 1833. Close to Fort Clark, it consisted of sixty-five earth lodges or houses, many with scaffolding around the houses that was used for drying corn and other food. The village's position, high on a promontory jutting out into the Missouri, made it easily defensible. However, all is tranquil in this scene as the women in the foreground collect driftwood using...

Carme Déchaussé - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Discalced Carmelite Monk This stunning 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Carme Déchaussé, or Discalced Carmelite monk, an emblem of humility and devotion. The figure is depicted in the characteristic simple brown habit and white mantle, with sandals on his feet—true to the order's name, which means "without shoes." The lithograph is part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, a richly illustrated publication that details the diverse attire of Catholic orders and clergy. The Discalced Carmelites, a reform of the Carmelite Order established by Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross in the 16th century, emphasize poverty, prayer, and community. Their attire reflects these values, remaining largely unchanged through centuries and still in use today by members of the order worldwide. This print captures the austerity and spiritual focus of their mission. Created by G. Perugini and accompanied by explanatory texts from Père Hélyot, this lithograph is a unique artistic and historical record. It offers insight into the traditions of one of the Catholic Church's most contemplative orders, making it an excellent piece for collectors interested in religious art, ecclesiastical history, or the evolution of monastic life. Translation of Introduction Text: A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others. Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites. With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini. List of Other Engravings in the Book (English Translation): 1. The Pope in Full Ceremony 2. Sovereign Pontiff Celebrating Mass 3. His Holiness Receiving Visitors 4. Cardinal of the Order of Bishops 5. Cardinal Priest 6. Cardinal Deacon 7. Cardinal in Choir Dress 8. Cardinal in Mozzetta 9. Cardinal in City Habit 10. Bishop in Pontifical Attire 11. Greek Catholic Bishop 12. Syrian Bishop 13. Armenian Bishop 14. Keeper of the Relics 15. Prelate in Minor Robes 16. Prelate in Grand Mantle 17. Canon Regular 18. Canon Ordinary 19. Secret Chamberlain 20. Master of Ceremonies 21. Discalced Carmelite Monk (this item is Plate 55) ... (Full list includes 80 titles; available upon request) This print, with its artistic mastery and historical depth, is a perfect addition to any collection focusing on Catholic history, monastic life, or antique religious art.
