Additional Information
Published in 1852 by N. Currier of New York after a painting by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, this scene depicts a buckskin-clad trapper galloping across the open plains with rifle in hand. Four mounted Native warriors give chase through windswept grass, though one has fallen after being struck.
The subtitle "One Rubbed Out!" borrows the slang of the era, signaling that the hunter has dropped a pursuer and will likely escape the rest. Such dramatic compositions captivated Eastern buyers hungry for visions of danger and daring from the distant Great Plains before the Civil War.
Remarkably, Tait never traveled farther west than Chicago, creating his celebrated compositions entirely from published accounts, conversations with travelers, and sheer artistic vision. His canvases shaped how millions of Americans pictured life beyond the Mississippi during the mid-nineteenth century.
This reproduction offers a window into an age when the boundless grasslands loomed large in the national consciousness and stories of survival thrilled parlor visitors from Boston to Baltimore. Treasured among the most collectible western prints ever issued, it brings bold energy to any den, office, or study.
