Throssel was a part Crow-Indian photographer. This and the following Lot came with a group of his photographs, some of which were offered in the last Be-hold Web 3 on-line-only auction. The first is a moody 4 5/8" x 8" matte brown-toned print, tipped to a white paper mount that is itself tipped onto a brown paper mount, signed on that mount and dated 1907 by Throssel. A slightly different (and less dark) image is shown as Plate 130 in Peggy Albright's "Crow Indian Photographer/ The Work of Richard Throssel" where it is titled "Sunrise on Custer's Battlefield" and dated there and in that negative as 1911, but I think this print is dated correctly. Covering the print is a tissue sheet with a blue typed poem Copyright 1908 by Throssel. "Where fell the Warchief Yellow Hair,/ The silent sentinels standing there,/ Like specters, in the coming morn,/ On the ridge above the Little Horn,/ Where savage foes, like fiends of hell,/ Swarmed 'round the place where Custer fell." Second stanza: "But now, the place is hushed and still,/ Save the songbirds, singing one [sic] the hill,/ And ringing through the coming morn,/ Like echoes of their bugle horn,/ A sad, sweet dirge, so sweet, so fair,/ For warriors, who fell with Yellow Hair." -- Throssel. Print is clean, undamaged, slightly dark. Throssel's "Crow Agency, Mont." sticker on the back of the mount. [3+]

1) Our responsibility is to present the material clearly and accurately, giving you a good idea of what the object is, and what its condition. We present the lots with a minimum bid that is clearly stated. The material itself should speak to you. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll try to answer as best as we can. By following this policy we just about never have any returns or related problems. If it should happen that you find a lot is not what you expected from the description, just contact us and we'll try to make it right. In the rare case where something seems not quite as it was presented, you just have to let us know within 10 days of your receipt, and if you return it quickly in the condition it was sent, we'll give you full credit or a refund. We are almost never called upon to do this, and in those rare cases the underbidder was happy to get the lot.
2) Your responsibility is to deal with your Invoice quickly and responsibly. It will be sent to you by E-mail soon after the close of bidding. Your invoice will include the amount of your bid or bids, a reasonable charge for shipping and handling, and the 15% premium. NY State bidders without a current valid re-sale or tax exempt certificate on file with us will have to pay an 8.5% State sales tax. We prefer you pay your Invoice with a personal or business check or money order in U.S. dollars on a U.S. bank, made out to "Be-hold, Inc.," sent within a few days of the receipt of your Invoice. International bidders must pay with an International Money order in US dollars. If you would prefer to pay by credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa) just let us know when you receive your Invoice. We can easily charge the Credit Card you gave when you registered, but only if you let us know. If we don't receive your payment or clear instructions within 10 days after the Invoice is sent, we will offer the lot to the underbidder or take other appropriate action.
