Lot description

1971 Thomas E. Mails (1920 - 2001) "Sioux Warrior" Original Illustration for his book "Dog Soldiers, Bear Men, and Buffalo Women". Originally done as a charcoal sketch for his book, page 266, in '71. Later in '73/'74 this was the first of a few he experimented with in colored chalk. The autographed book with a personalized sketch by Thomas Mails was also done at this time. The smaller sketch is believed done as a model for a larger original art. The art by Thomas Mails was done to illustrate his own Native American books and has been exhibited throughout the West. 3 special original pieces. Largest measure 15 1/2 X 12 1/2 inches.
