This Frederick Remington print, The Dead Men” is a color relief half tone which was an engraving method used to reproduce a painting or illustration. The print is one of a series of eight commissioned by Collier’s Weekly Magazine and published 1908-09.
Remington (1861-1909) had a contract with Collier’s to produce a painting a month beginning in 1902. Each painting would be featured in color inside the magazine and offered for sale by mail order. He was the most popular Western artist in America at the turn of the century and he produced over three thousand signed flat works, eight books, and twenty-two bronzes when he died at the age of forty-eight.
On the left hand bottom corner is written, “Copyright 1909 by P.F. Collier and Son” and on the right hand corner is written “Painted by Frederic Remington.” The original print was signed in the lower right by Remington and this signature appears in this image.
Size and Condition
The The Dead Men captures the artist’s “caught in action” style, a legacy of his lack in formal training and its stifling pedagogy, which he could never tolerate. The overall size is approximately 11” x 16 ½” and the actual image area is approximately 8 ½” x 11”. The paper is heavy stock and the condition of this print is good with some erasure marks on the left margin area which will be covered when framed.
