Included in this lot is "Frederic Remington's 'Buckskins' Portraits Of The Old West... The Original Folio Of Eight Color Prints Suberbly Reproduced", 1956, produced by Penn Prints, New York. These vintage Penn Prints lithographs each feature the signature of Frederic Remington and some are dated. Frederic Sackrider Remington (American 1861-1909) is considered one of the most renowned painter, illustrator and sculptor of the American Old West who spent his life retelling the scenes of the American west with images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry, amongst other Western culture. Illustrations and prints became an important part of Remington's fame and popularity with the American public. Throughout the 1890s, Remington was well known in American households as an illustrator of the Old West and military subjects. A hundred years ago, Remington created a stable of "types" or stereotypes that were understood not to be depictions of actual individuals. Often celebrated as an artist of action, of the figure in landscape, Remington did not often attempt portraiture, and populated his paintings with casts of recurring characters. The print series, "A Bunch of Buckskins," of 1901, published by R. H. Russell names some of denizens of Remington's West: A Breed, A Sioux Chief, A Cheyenne Buck, An Army Packer, A Cavalry Officer, An Arizona Cowboy, and A Trapper, which this folio includes. The prints are in good overall condition with age tanning and slight foxing noted. Two prints have been trimmed , possibly for mounting but otherwise the images are not affected. Original folio folder exhibits tatters, tape repaired areas. Prints measure 12"W x 16"L approximately.
