This item is for a nicely framed vintage print with a Native American subject by Frederic Mizen. The print is vintage reproduction of one of his paintings. His paintings belong to a group that were purchased over the years, beginning in 1903, by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad and reproduced for their advertising purposes. In 1907, they began to use the images on their yearly calendars to promote tourism to the Southwest. The ATS&F, now called Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, has continued to acquire such original artworks and presently owns one of the largest collections of art depicting images of the Southwest. The vintage calendars are collected by railroad enthusiasts.

The print we're offering here, Indian Chant, was used on the 1953 calendar. This print may be from the original calendar... I don't know. It was purchased at an estate sale, along with "Navajo Shepherdess" from 1954, which we are offering in another of our auctions this week. They are both framed in these wonderful wormwood frames which certainly enhance the rustic Western look. Sealed on the back with brown paper. 11-1/2" x 13-1/8" Screw eyes with picture wire on back for hanging. Indian Chant has some white marks or scratches on the print vertically on right side near the frame. All else is in very good condition. 35s10

This print, entitled Loon by Richard Hunt, is one of a group of small framed prints we purchased from an estate sale. Each is the work of a Northwestern Native American artist. All are displayed in the same way with information about each artist. They appear to be hand signed and titled in pencil. Information on one of them leads me to believe they may all have been limited edition cards. The frames are metal 14" x 11", with cardboard backing and loops for hanging. The print measures 5.5" x 8.5". It is not professionally framed. Print is attached to a heavy green background paper that has been folded in the center. It is in very good condition.

Richard Hunt is a Kwa-Guth (Kwakiutl) artist, the chief carver of the British Columbia Provincial Museum in Victoria. Richard was born in Alert Bay in 1951. His mother was the adopted daughter of the great chief, Mungo Martin. His internationally known father, Henry, and brother Tony, also artists, where his early teachers. This is a Kwa-Guth design of the Loon as danced at a potlatch.

Beautiful 1920's vintage landscape print is marked with only the title Green To Gold at bottom center. There is no signature or printer's mark showing. I haven't tried to remove it from the frame to see what might be below the frame. The subject matter, with the winding canal and lane of trees, style, and title seem similar to some paintings/prints by R Atkinson Fox. We welcome all information from anyone who might have information about who the artist might be. The frame is also an older style, probably original to this print, as there are remnants of the old brown paper backing, mostly in one corner. This could easily be replaced if so desired. The frame was painted gold long ago by a previous owner. There is some rippling to the print. In very good condition otherwise. 15.5" high x 25.5" long. Purchased from an estate sale.
