Show 59 28. Two hundred fifty black and white and fifty chine colle prints were sent in this first shipment to Coblenz. At least some of these prints must have been the dated second state of the print. (The only change made for the second state was that the prints were dated-January 1 st, 1839). A second shipment of sixty colored prints was sent to Holscher on November 27, 1838. An additional two hundred impressions were sent to Ackermann & Company and an estimated seventy-eight to Bertrand, bringing the total of impressions pulled from this plate to 638 prints. 29. Awascho-Dickfas. Hidatsa Man, watercolor on paper, 12-1/2" x 10-1/8", KBA #323 and Awascho-Dickfas. Hidatsa Man, pencil on paper, 12-5/8" x 10", KBA #324. 30. A sketch of a figure similar to this Indian, and labeled "Monetarri" appears in a sketch, Mandan and Hidatsa Figures, pencil on paper, 10" x 12-1/2", KBA #336. To the right of this figure is a rough sketch of the wolf tail that appears in the fully-developed watercolor of Awascho-Dickfas (KBA #323) and adds to the strength of this speculation. In this same sketch is a figure previously discussed, wearing the distinctive horizontal headdress. Below this is penciled "Monitarri Scalptanz." If drawn at the same time, this is possibly internal evidence that Awascho-Dickfas was present at the ceremony. 31. The Newberry Library. Ayer collection, (Hans Lang, Zwei Ringspieler und Zuschauer vor Monnetarri-Erdhausern. pencil sketch, 32,4cm x 21,6 cm). 32. The Newberry Library. Ayer collection, Pencil sketch of six Indian figures (Hans Lang, Totengerust eines Sioux-Chefs. 22,5cm x 26,2cm). A small sketch in the lower right-hand corner of this drawing is a preliminary outline for Tableau 11, Funeral Scaffold of a Sioux Chief. Three of the six figures in this sketch are studies of the same Indian, viewed from slightly different perspectives. One of these three sketches was used to develop the central foreground figure for that tableau. If Bodmer did, indeed, use this reference sketch to develop the crouching foreground figure in Scalp Dance , he was introducing an enemy warrior into the celebration. 33. The Newberry Library. Ayer collection, (Hans Lang, Vier Einzelfiguren zu Tab. 11. 19,2cm x 19cm). 34. Ponca Men, watercolor on paper, 6" x 5-7/8", KBA #173. |
