This is Frederic Remington's "Eight New Remington Paintings" published by P.F. Collier & Son in 1909, in their original presentation folio. This set has all eight chromolithographs: "Indians Simulating Buffalo", "On the Southern Plains in 1860", "The Dead Men", "The Snow Trail", "The Pool in the Desert", "With the Eye of the Mind", "The Warrior's Last Ride", and "The Sentinel." All the lithographs are marked in the lower left corner "Copyright 1909 by P.F. Collier & Son" and in the lower right corner "Painted by Frederic Remington". Frederic Remington (1861-1909) is perhaps the greatest Western artist in history. His original works of art easily command a sale price of more than $500,000. Collier's magazine began purchasing the publishing rights to Remington's work in 1901. Several years later, Collier's signed a multi-year contract with Remington to publish his works as covers, two-page centerfolds and one-page frontispieces in Collier's magazine. Collier's published Remington's images in the magazine about once a month. As Collier's had the publishing copyrights to Remington's work, it exploited those rights by creating special print portfolios of Remington's paintings that it sold to its magazine subscribers. The portfolios were heavily advertised in Collier's magazine. The prints in the 1909 portfolio are some of Remington's last and most mature artworks, as Remington died at the end of 1909. These RARE chromolithographs were made during Remington's lifetime and show very nice overall condition. Each one measures 11.5" x 16.5", folio measures 12"W x 17"L.
