Types from Arizona
1886
Frederic Remington was basically the paparazzi of the Wild West, capturing the gritty reality of the frontier before it vanished. In this 1886 sheet titled 'Types from Arizona,' he presents a visual diary of the American Southwest, featuring rugged cowboys like 'Jose Marie,' weary soldiers labeled 'Some Army People,' and a chaotic cluster of mules. It’s a fascinating snapshot of the diverse characters—Native Americans, cavalrymen, and pack animals—that defined the era, sketched with the loose, energetic style that made Remington famous.
