HUFFMAN, L.A. (1854-1931), photographer. After the Chase, Smokey Butte, Montana. Miles City, MT, 1880. Signed in ink.
8 x 10 in. hand-colored colotype with hand-inked title and copyright of Huffman.
Between 1880-1883, Huffman took a series of images of some of the last buffalo hunts in North American. By this time the great northern and southern herds were nearing extinction, and Huffman's striking views served as a call to arms for conservationists. This hand-colored scene, showing three bison and the horses of the hunters on the frozen prairie was a reminder of what had been and what would never again be.
