Huffman Style Colorized Print of Sheep Grazing - This 18 x 24 3/8 inch print features a man on horseback accompanied by a dog overseeing a grazing flock of sheep in the American West and has been lightly tinted with color.

Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) was among the few photographers to capture ranching life in Montana in the late 19th century. CONDITION: Fine, showing attractive muted color and a distinct image with some scattered light scuffs and a few minor stains.
