Two Attractive Vintage Landscape Prints, One by L. A. Huffman - This
print of a photograph by legendary Montana photographer Laton Alton
Huffman (1854-1931) has been colorized using watercolor tinting and is
unmarked on the front. The back is hand marked in ink “#354 St Marys lake
near St Ignatius mission Mont, an original photograph, done
in water colors and copyrighted 1905 by LA Huffman Miles
Mont.” The handwriting appears similar to other examples
we believe to have been penned by Huffman. Pictured is a
beautiful mountain lake landscape with a man in a boat on the
lake and a small camp to the left, all lightly tinted with water
colors. Also included is a black and white landscape print that
shows low mountains and a distant village in what appears to
be the American West. The Huffman print measures 11 x 19
1/4 inches including the frame, and the other print measures
approximately 13 1/4 x 16 1/4 inches.
CONDITION: The Huffman print is fine with mostly distinct
image, some mild fading/staining, and a minor scuff towards
the middle. The frame is fine with minor handling/storage
marks and stains. The other print is also fine with some
scattered minor stains and light fading.
Provenance: The John Fox Collection.
Estimate: 1,000 - 1,600
