All historical text has been provided by Dr. Claude E. Schaeffer. Winhold Reiss (1886-1953) was a painter, illustrator, and interior designer who emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1913, where he taught art for a time at the Art Students' League. In 1919 he traveled to Montana to paint portraits of members of the Blackfeet nation. Reiss depicted his subjects as they were, without the romanticization that many of his fellow artists at the time were using to depict Native Americans. During the summers from 1927 to 1948, Reiss spent in Glacier National Park studying and drawing members of the Blackfeet, these trips were sponsored by the Great Northern Railway, who acquired the majority of these works, and used them in promotional material. The 24 color prints and the 12-page stapled wrappers are in fine condition. Both are housed in the colorful pictorial envelope which has light wear to the flap-fold and with light wear to the extremities. Overall a near fine, bright set.

Winold Reiss (1886 - 1953) was a German-born American artist and graphic designer. In 1920 he travelled to the American West for the first time, working for a lengthy period on the Blackfeet Reservation. Over the years Reiss painted more than 250 works depicting Native Americans. These paintings by Reiss became known more widely beginning in the 1920 and to the 1950s, when the Great Northern Railway commissioned Reiss to do paintings of the Blackfeet which were then distributed widely as lithographed reproductions on Great Northern calendars. The author, Dr. Claude Everett Schaeffer (1901 - 1969) was an American ethnologist in the Northern Plains and Plateau area, best known for his research of the Blackfeet and Kutenai tribes.
