This is an original etching by Marie Crancois Catherine Doetger “Fanny” Corbaux (1812-1883) titled The Ojibbenay Indians. The image is of four Ojibwe (also can be referred to as Ojibwa, Chippewa or Saulteaux, a tribe of the Anishinaabe) Native American Indians. Early Indian tribe names, especially the Ojibwe, were very commonly misspelled such as this title. The images shows the four Ojibwe Native American Indians all in beautiful beadwork and quillwork Indian hide dresses, war shirts, and pants / leggings along with two pipe tomahawks, a pipe and stem, what appears to be a Grizzly Bear Claw necklace, a polychrome painted Buffalo robe and more wonderful pieces. The bottom of the piece is marked, “Miss F. Corbaux / The Ojibbenay Indians. / J. Brown”. The piece is an original artwork by Marie Crancois Catherine Doetger “Fanny” Corbaux with the etching / publishing by J. Brown. The piece dates to circa 1840’s and is incredibly rare with this being the only example readily available. The piece is similar to other American Indian etchings from Karl Bodmer, George Catlin, Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, but of a much more scarcity. The etching is professionally framed in a gilt wood frame and has a nice matting along with preservation features. Provenance: From the Bruce VanLandingham Sundog Gallery Bozeman collection. This frame measures 21 1/2" x 18 1/2" and the visible art area measures 10 1/4" x 7 3/4.
