Booklet produced by H. R. Mallinson & Co., Inc., New York. Subject is a line of silk fabrics based on Native American symbolism and lore from 1927-28. 20 leaves, 40 pages, including front and back covers. Front cover is a bust of a Native American Chief in feathered headdress (Sioux War Bonnet). Top of the entire booklet is cut following the shape of the headdress.
Mallinson's American Indian series followed the "National Parks" and "Wonder Caves of America" designs, and illustrates the company's continuing interest in using American themes, and in utilizing the collections of New York area museums for research and inspiration. The company produced regular "Blue Books" as an advertising medium, but only the larger, more important series designs had Blue books devoted solely to them.
