Featured in this lot is this original ledger drawing from the Northern Sioux dating to circa 1909-1940’s from the Robert Dickens Little Blue Hand collection. These ledger drawings are from the same ledger book collection offered and sold from our company back in 2013. The original ledger book would have been traded to the Northern Sioux and was said to be handed down from their ancestors at the Sioux Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and later traded to the collector many years ago back in the 1970-1980’s. The set ranging in age from circa 1890 on and is mostly believed to be drawn in circa 1920-1930’s. The artwork shows a salary accounting page that is dated 1909 and features a warrior in full war regalia holding a lance down in a charge against a wagon with a man firing back with a pistol and his family in the wagon. The wagon is littered with arrows and shows a hillside in the background. The condition of this piece of ledger art is good and well preserved with a frame and no obvious signs of damage to the artwork. The measurements of this framed artwork is 13 1/4" x 17 5/8" and the visible art measures 9 7/8" x 14 1/8".
