Up for sale is this vintage print of a member of the Blackfoot tribe by Winold Reiss, one of several we are selling that were originally published as a plate in the 1935 book, "Blackfoot Indians".  Each Reiss portrait in this series is extraordinary, both for the dignity of the subjects and the vibrancy of the colors used. Each is matted in a pH neutral mat measuring 11" x 14" for ease of framing and is in excellent condition, as pictured.
