Description

Remington on his 'Hands Off' painting: "It represents an Alaska miner who is hauling ‘grub’ and is beset by starving indians bent on pillaging his sled"

ALS, one page, 4.5 x 9.5, 301 Webster Avenue (New Rochelle, New York) letterhead, no date. Handwritten letter to an unknown recipient, in full: “In re- ‘Hands Off’ picture — it represents an Alaska miner who is hauling ‘grub’ and is beset by starving indians bent on pillaging his sled; a frequent happening and not confined to indians either. Glad to hear of my old friend the mounted policeman — that was a long time ago it seems now. Give him my best regards and say that I have finished riding; a year ago a big horse free on a brick pavement, scared by auto and mashed my leg up badly.” Matted and framed with a photo of Remington’s referenced oil painting to an overall size of 11.25 x 20.25. In very good to fine condition, with a stain to the right edge, and an apparent tear to the upper right corner area.
