Q: Frederic Remington

In my German Art Stamp catalogue Scott #1176 (USA 1961) is listed as a
painting by Frederic Remington, while Scott 2005 lists it as a drawing by
Charles M. Russell. Assuming that Scott is correct, rather than the German
catalogue (Michel 806), I wonder how Remington comes into the picture? Does
anyone know?

There are not tooo many paintings by Remington available, but I have the
Trans Mississippi issues 1898, the portrait 1940, and the "Smoke Signals"
1961.

G'day Mette,
unable to answer the question (SG numbers only)

The "smoke signals" is a detail,
here is the full picture (apologies for poor scan -my old scanner)

Also Remington features in the US "illustrators" set of 2001
SG3917 34c
If you do a feature on Remington, would love to see it!

Thanks Rod, interesting stamp. It must be fairly recent, since it is not
listed in my art cat. Do you know the year of issuance? And also, do you by
any chance have the three Paraguay Remington-issues 1975 (one stamp) and
1976 (two stamps) ? If not, it's no disaster, I may be able to find them
elsewhere.

I have the illustrators pane, and will find that one too. And I just found
one from 1981, Scott 1934 (sculpture, Coming through the Rye). I am working
on a small Remington-page, and will let you know :-)

The details are always top of the CJoint image Mette,

1976 SG2056

I checked Paraguay without luck, I'm afraid.

Yes, I had no idea he was a sculptor as well, what a gifted creature!

Thank you Blair. I will keep an eye out for them. For the moment I will have
to do without, but that's not very serious, since I can present a fair
number of Remington-stamps already for a web page.

Good Morning , Mette:

Here is the stamp:
http://www.1847usa.com/identify/1960s/1176.jpg

Here is "The Trail Boss" by Charles M Russell (1864-1926)
(monochrome sketch)
http://69.69.245.68/gallery/sketches/trailbmo.gif

Please note that the LEFT side of the design comes from
Russell's "The Trail Boss" (see below).

The RIGHT side of the design differd from the Russell work.
I do not know its source, or if it comes from a Remington work.

By the way, according to Renner (1956; reprinted in Dippie,
1999, p. 288) the colored print version of Charlie Russell's
famous original pen-and-ink sketch of The Trail Boss is a
forgery. Renner (1956) specifically named eight C. M. Russell
pen sketches that were water colored by unscrupulous
mountebanks and sold to unsuspecting collectors as "originals".

Note: Frederic G. Renner is usually regarded as the most
knowledgeable and leading authority on C. M. Russell. As
a boy, Renner spent time in Russell's studio in Great Falls,
Montana. J. Frank Dobie claimed that Renner knew more
about Russell "... than anybody else alive"
(Taliaferro in Dippie, 1999, p. 210)
