Framed Collotype Print of L.A. Huffman’s “After
The Chase” - L.A. Huffman (1835-1931), an immensely influential and historically important frontier photographer of the American West, documented Montana’s cowboys, ranchers, landscapes and native populations in their
natural states. Huffman photographed some of the last commercial buffalo hunts in the west. “After the Chase,” photographed circa 1882, is composed somewhat similarly to George Catlin’s painting “After the Buffalo Chase” and depicts two horses, and three downed buffalo along the snowy Montana countryside. The frame measures 14 3/8 inches by 16 3/8 inches with grey and red matting which covers the “L.A. Huffman” in the lower right corner. This documentation is a potent reminder of the near eradication of the American bison.
CONDITION: Excellent overall showing minimal storage and handling marks and a distinct image. This would be a great image for display with a buffalo rifle.
Provenance: The John Fox Collection.
Estimate: 2,500 - 4,000
