Widely considered to be Frederic Remington’s most successful print series, A Bunch of Buckskins, consisting of eight pastel images, was created in 1901 and published by frequent Remington collaborator R.H. Russell. The pastels from the portfolio were included in the artist’s first solo gallery exhibition in New York in December 1901. Remington was especially pleased with the popularity and reach of the portfolio. In 1908, he checked into the Irma Hotel in Cody, Wyoming, and was thrilled to see a full, framed set in the lobby.
