For your consideration is this Indian Boarding School Ledger Art, by F. White Bird, 1911, Burl Frame. Depicting a battlefield scene strewn with dead Native American Indian and Army casualties. Provenance: From The Webbster House Collection. From the title plaque, "Kenneth Webbster was a doctor who collected Native American memorabilia from about 1930 until his death in 1967. After his death, his kids turned his home / office into a mini gallery to display his collection. It was called the Webbster House Collection. The ledgers he collected are mostly all from either the Carlisle Indian Industrial School that was in Pennsylvania or a placed called St. Mary's Indian Board School in Wisconsin. Students were not just children and the schools served as what was referred to as re-education schools for adults well. Drawings were sent to donor and supporters of the schools as gifts and were coveted by many of the recipients. This would account for why the students of these schools were encouraged to draw these pictures." Ledger art is traditionally drawings done with pen, pencil, crayon and sometimes watercolor that the Indians obtained through trade or by taking them from soldiers bodies on the battlefield. For nearly 70 years, ledger art was a transitional medium that mirrored the changes in Plains Indian life at the time. The ledger art is in amazingly fine condition, minor tears noted to edges, matted mounted shadowbox-style. Professionally mounted, no obvious marring noted. Visible art measures 7.25"W x 11.25"L, frame is 15.5"W x 18.5"L x 1"D.
