This classic western print is marked "Buffalo Grazing the Big Open North Montana 1880" on the lower left and has the "LA Huffman" copyright mark on the right. Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) was among the few western photographers who documented the remaining buffalo herds as their numbers dwindled in the late 19th century. By 1880, buffalo herds had already been reduced to 395,000 from over 5 million a decade earlier, and by the end of the decade only around 541 remained in the U.S., so Huffman's photographs captured the last of the truly wild herds for posterity. The print measures approximately 7 1/4 by 10 inches and is mounted in a 13 1/2 by 16 inch frame. Provenance: The John Fox Collection

Very good with distinct image, minor wear on the frame, faint tear on the lower right corner, and light aging.
