Featured in this lot is this Artist Proof bronze sculpture called "Big Beaver," circa 1919 from atist Alexander Phimister Proctor born in 1860 and died in 1950. This is believed to be an original bronze done during the artist lifetime. The bronze sculpture of Native American called Big Beaver. Big Beaver, a Blackfoot Indian, traveled with Proctor in a car from Montana to California to complete On the War Trail. The bronze is marked along the neck as follows: Big Beaver - Proctor - 1919 - A/P; and shows a plaque on the front that reads as follows: Big Beaver. 1917 - A. Phimister Proctor - 1862-1950. Alexander Phimister Proctor (September 27, 1860 – September 5, 1950) was an American sculptor with the contemporary reputation as one of the nation's foremost animaliers.
