For your bidding pleasure in this lot is a framed collection of five E.S. Paxton Indian Series postcards. Edgar Samuel Paxson (1852 – 1919) was an American frontier painter, scout, soldier, and writer, who lived in Deer Lodge, Montana. In 1912, Paxson was commissioned to paint eight murals in the Missoula, Montana county courthouse. The murals took 16 months to complete, and still stand in the entrance hall where they were originally placed. The subjects include Sacagawea and the journey of Lewis and Clark. He also created six scenes depicting significant events in early Montana history for the House of Representatives Lobby in the Montana State Capitol. The postcards in this frame are Curley (Custer's Scout), Crow, Sioux, Flathead, and Mis-sou-la. On the back of the frame is paper giving information on the art. The frame measures 21 1/2" x 6 3/4". Each postcard shows 3 1/2" x 5 1/8". This lot appears to be in good condition and shows no obvious signs of damage.
