This is a print of C.M. Russells painting, York, which depicts an incident of Lewis & Clarke's that occurred in the winter of 1804-05 at the Mandan villages on the Upper Missouri. The Mandan had never seen a black person before and were fascinated with York’s skin color, even at one point trying to rub it off. Of all the members of the Corps, the Indians particularly admired York for his unusual appearance and physical prowess. This painting was done in 1908. Russell is arguably the most iconic Western Artist and this is a great example of his work. Great Americana, Lewis & Clarke, Western, and Black Americana Collectible print. This print appears to be on matte board. Measures 22"x28"
