This is a RARE First Edition of "Remington's Frontier Sketches" by Frederic Remington and published in 1898 by the Werner Company. Remington is arguably one of the most influential Western artists who ever lived. This book was published at about the pinnacle of his career and highlights some of his best works thus far. Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, Native American Indians, and the US Cavalry. Unpaginated and illustrated with title page vignette, 15 monochrome full page plates with captioned tissue guards printed in red. The noted collection of Remington's distinctive drawing of the American West depicting battle scenes between the U.S. Calvary and Plains Indians. The book is in amazingly good condition for its age, with some scuffing, soiling noted on the cover, gold gilt on stamped front cover vignette, gold gilt intact page edges. Age tanning and foxing exhibited on tissue guards. A collectable copy of an uncommon work. The book measures 9.5"W x 12"L.
