1954
Our Western Frontiers brought George Catlin paintings to the Newark Museum in 1954. Five National Gallery of Art object histories document scenes of Ojibbeway people in London and hunting buffalo, Catlin painting Mah-to-toh-pa, an Apachee village, and La Salle erecting a cross. The source titles are retained as historical catalogue language. Each connection follows an exact native object and accession; the histories state that there was no catalogue, and exact daily dates remain unknown.
