Additional Information
Born in Bavaria, the tales of Buffalo Bill that made their way across the ocean entranced young Nick Eggenhofer. So thoroughly did he pursue his passion that when he emigrated to the United States he quickly found a market for his art in the Western pulps. Eggenhofer’s devotion to accuracy in matters of costume, saddlery and tack–brought a new standard of realism to illustrations of Western action and life and yet Stagecoach Trail sacrifices detail for an impressionistic sunset moodiness. As the shadows creep up the side of the stage, the driver urges his team on. There is beauty and stillness in the flaming rocks, but perhaps some urgency, too.
