Item Overview

Description

This particular collotype is after the first portrait of Sitting Bull ever done. The original graphite drawing of this went at auction for $18,000 in 2002 (

This fascinating collotype is from Rudolf Cronau's Von Wunderland zu Wunderland, Landschafts und Lebensbilder aus den Staaten und Territorien der Union. The work was published in Leipzig by T. O. Weigel between 1886 and 1887. It has a Washington copyright in 1885 by Dr. O. V. Deuster.

The work is a rare set of German prints of the United States, from New York to San Francisco. It also features the first portrait done of Sitting Bull. The work had a particular focus on the American West and was celebrated for its accuracy. Europeans were fascinated with the frontier and different landscapes, populations, and customs. Cronau hand sketched each scene with pen & ink which were then converted to these skilled collotypes.
