This is an interesting and Very RARE Original Frederic Remington Wood Engraving Printing Block, incised into a type of light-weight wood or other material, and approximately dating to the 1960’s – 1970’s. This printing block would have been used by an art publishing house that retained permission from the Remington Estate to reproduce some of the artist’s most famous engravings, including this piece titled “Cheyenne Scouts Patrolling the Big Timber of the North Canadian, Oklahoma” and originally dates to a drawing by Remington in 1889. I have not been able to find anything comparable online, and this is definitely a rare piece of Frederic Remington memorabilia. These printing blocks were never supposed to leave the publishing house and were always destroyed after the completion of a limited numbered pressing. An employee must have walked off with this and kept it instead of destroying it. If you look closely at this piece, you can see extremely intricate cut marks and incising, which may have been done either by hand or machine. Approximately 14 1/4 x 17 1/2 inches including frame. Actual printing block is approximately 9 x 12 inches. Good condition for age and use, with some areas of staining from the pigment used for printing on the edges and the verso please see photos. Vintage frame mas moderate scuffing and edge wear. This rare art implement associated with a master of American Western art is not to be missed and is priced to sell.

The young artist set out for the Montana Territory, determined to gain a firsthand knowledge of western life. During the next few years, he sampled sheepherding, gold prospecting, cowboy life, and cavalry maneuvers in the Southwest. At the same time, he produced black-and-white illustrations of cowboys, Indians, and Plains military campaigns that brought him considerable recognition. S he began to paint and sculpt these same subjects, eventually producing a body of some three thousand vivid pictorial narratives. These made his name synonymous with a powerful nostalgia for the vanishing Wild West. Frederic Remington and the West, Austin: University of Texas Press. Frederic Remington, The Late Years.
