Etchings of the West by Edward Borein Presentation Edition #11/25 2002 Inscription to Ron Gillio by John T. Reynolds 12/2002 on title page. "Presenting a selection of ten etchings, pulled from the original plates, representing a cross section of the work of Edward Borein Plus three tipped-in Borein Christmas Cards, and an invitation to a party at Lucile and Ed's home, "La Barranca", printed from the original cuts". This Presentation Edition is limited to twenty-five volumes of which this is copy #11. Immaculate copy in pristine condition complete with clear book sleeve and custom book case. This copy is worthy of a museum collection. From the Santa Barbara Historical Museum website: "Edward Borein was one of a handful of early Western artists who was actually born in the West. As a young man he roamed the western states and territories and much of Mexico, working as a cowboy and using his artistic talent to record these experiences. Developing a deep affection for the West, and nurtured by his free lifestyle as a cowboy, he soon became known as a facile and spontaneous recorder of cowboy and Indian life.
In his early thirties Borein decided to pursue a career as a professional artist and moved to New York City, where his studio soon became a favorite haunt for important figures such as Will Rogers, Charles M. Russell, Carl Oscar Borg and Buffalo Bill Cody.
Borein returned to his native California, married, and set up a permanent studio in Santa Barbara in 1921. His etchings, watercolors, and drawings quickly earned him a reputation as one of the foremost interpreters of the American West, and few artists have done so as accurately and skillfully as Borein." Extremely rare, perfect copy.
