Charles M. Russell, chromolithograph
Charles M. Russell (1864-1926). The Custer Fight. 11" x 17" chromolithograph. Signed and dated 1903 lower left. Imprinted: Copyright 1905 Charles Scribner's Sons N.Y. lower left. The Custer Fight lower center. The Gringard Litho Co. N. Y. lower right. The Custer Fight was one of four contained in a set issued by Scribner's. Russell's depiction of Custer's Last Stand is very unusual for the period because it does not glorify Custer and the 7th Cavalry, but rather presents the battle from the Indian perspective; consistent with Russell's Native American sympathies.
