Remington Rotogravure  Hunting The Hostile Camp
Featured in this lot is a Rare Frederic Remington Rotogravure Print of "Captain Baldwin Hunting the Hostile Camp", framed, circa 1897. This was made from an extremely rare set of 14 Remington black and white illustrations of the Indian Wars published by the Werner Company in 1897. The 14 were enlargements of the Remington illustrations contained in the book, "Personal Recollections and Observations of General Nelson A. Miles", 1896. These images were also contained in Remington's "Frontier Sketches", 1898. A similar rotogravure is part of the Amon G. Carter Collection of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas. Remington is arguably one of the most influential Western artists who ever lived. Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861-1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, Native American Indians, and the US Cavalry. This rotogravure is in amazingly well preserved condition, no marring is observed to the rotogravure. Mounted in a black stained wood gold gilt edge and gold gilt dentil molding matted glass frame, scuffing exhibited to frame edges, no other obvious marring noted. Visible art measures 22"L x 15"W, and the frame is 28.75"L x 21.5"W x .75"D approximately.
