The lot features an original circa 1890-1891 Ledger Page from the same collection as the Statement of Blemmingham ledger book with original Northern Plains ledger art. The page shows a graphite and colored pencil ledger art from the Northern Plains, likely Sioux showing a Great American Bison Buffalo kill. The piece shows the large impressive Bull Buffalo at the center with two kill shot arrows from a Northern Plains Warrior showing beet red eyes, air blowing from its nostrils and to the left a rattlesnake, likely a signature of sorts as its found on every page. The page itself is marked 1890 on the front and 1891 on the back. The ledger has nice foxing and discoloration around the edges from early age. The piece is from the Blemmingham Ledger book, the very same as the 1871 Example that sold in our September 2021 sale for $1,107 (shown with bp). The ledger page dates to circa 1890-1891, the artwork appears to be of an older age but exact age is unknown. The ledger sheet measures 12” by 7 3/8”.
