This is a steel engraved print on silk by western artist Frederic Remington (1861-1909). It measures 11"x 14", has some light staining that is not on the print.
Born in upstate New York and only two months old when his father left for the Civil War, Remington developed a passion for the adventure he imagined in the far West at an early age, sketching the horses and people he imagined. Without formal art training until enrolled at Yale as an art student in 1878, Remington quickly tired of academic training but often contributed to the Yale Courant, the first illustrated college weekly. After meeting Eva Adele Caten, Remington set off for the far West with a small inheritance on the first of several sojourns and trials at ranching, prospecting, and business to earn his fortune, returning to earn her hand in marriage. However unstable their finances during the early years, his fortunes lay in his commitment to documenting the West.
