About This Item
Flagstaff; (1972): Northland Press. First Edition. Quarto. Limited to only 104 copies signed by Reed and Schmidt. The present copy is number 57. The "Grizzly Bear" was Mr. Von Schmidt's first sculpture. This book won the coveted Western Heritage Award for the best Western art book in 1972. The artist began as a cowhand and lumberjack in California in his teenage years and began studying art. As his work became known nationally and internationally, he became a favorite of collectors and was awarded the first gold medal by the trustees of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1968. A near fine copy bound in 1/4 brown leather over red pictorial cloth stamped with the image of a bear in outline, spine lettering gilt, tiny spot to front board, housed within a red cloth covered slipcase, leather label lettered in gilt, tiny bit of wear to bottom corner of opening. A very nice copy. [Over seas orders will be at cost as bear is quite heavy).
