Featured in this lot is this collection of Winold Reiss Blackfeet Indian and Mountain Man posters. There are three posters in this collection. Winold Reiss was born in Germany in 1886. Following in the footsteps of his father, Winold became an artist, studying art in Munich. In 1913, Winold came to the United States with a Romantic Idealism of Native Americans and the vast Western Frontier. 1919 found Winold Reiss in Montana, where he befriended Natives in the Blackfoot tribe. He made pastel portrait drawings of many of the Blackfeet he had met. Reiss was able to capture individual traits, as well as a high degree of human dignity; his portraits were sensitive and sympathetic depictions. Sometime after 1924, Reiss was commissioned by the Great Northern Railway to paint a series of portraits of Native Americans for a series of calendars. Mr. Reiss enjoyed a long partnership with the railroad, travelling many times to Glacier Park. His works for the railway documented a people in transition and cultivated respect for the Natives. When he died in 1953, the Blackfeet spread his ashes along the Eastern edge of Glacier National Park. The first poster is of "Evening Star Woman", a Blackfeet Indian Princess, and shows a cream background with a depiction of the princess sitting on folds of trade blankets; this poster is from 1953. The second is of a Blackfeet Indian youth and titled "Nobody Has Pity on Me"; it is a Glacier National Park poster from 1951, showing a cream background with the Native American youth posing with ceremonial garments. The last is titled "Tom Dawson - Mountain Man" and is a Glacier National Park poster from Winold Reiss; it shows a mountain man posing with his repeating rifle and is from 1947. The condition of this collection of posters is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of these posters are 18" x 16 1/4".
