Here is a uniquely American work of art from the Pawnee and/or Kiawah tribes of North America. I think it would be correct to refer to these as the original outsider art of North America. Being that I am not an expert in this particular field, it is somewhat difficult for me to objectively look at the various details that are portrayed and make a discussion as to why they would be included in the works of these particular tribes. What I can say is that, while they may appear as somewhat amateurish on their face, they are actually highly codified and exacting in their attributes. As example of these attributes, you can notice in the works where an attack is pictured, there is a type of “medicine” or superstition portrayed alongside the “warrior”. While I find this a fascinating tenet of the work, I would not pretend to have any idea what are portrayed by these. The media used in these works are very rudimentary examples of watercolor, several types of ink including, oak gall, walnut, and China black. There are several colored pencils that are used for the clothing and then body colors which were made from organics and minerals which make the colors stand out obviously. For example, the yellow depicted is gamboge and not orpiment, which would have been more customary for the time, which is a naturally occurring resin from a tree that can also be used as a pigment when wet. A very early and very rare type of water color paint. The pink is mercuric sulfate, or natural vermilion, and the blue is lapis lazuli, the actual mineral version, the green is a lead chromate, and the mint green is actually paris green, a version of emerald green made from arsenic. Point is, that these are professional artist paints, not just school kids paint. It’s not really surprising given that they were probably provided by associates of the government. The pigments used in these watercolors are very different from modern colors. The graphics and design that went into these works, given the tools that they had are extremely well done and are very complicated works. Much more complex than they appear on their face. Overall, in speaking with various curators and experts in the field, there is a TREMENDOUS amount of symbology that goes into these works. I would have to leave a large part of the research into these up to the purchaser. The good news along with that is that pricing of these will reflect my general level of ignorance behind them. If you are a fan and student of ledger art, these could be considered a huge bargain for exactly that reason. ***NOTE: The paper is manufactured with a blue hue which does not reproduce well digitally. It is the same color that Moinier’s has been known to produce for more than 100 years**** The paper, which measures 8 x 11” was made by Moinier’s of France. If you are familiar, you will know that Moinier’s was something of a specialty house that produced custom sheets for major business’s and governments with custom watermarks and countermarks. They were also known for making specific sheets for our congress and also a presidential sheet which is dated (as in this case, 1848) and carries the presidential seal. The ledger that these sheets were taken from belonged to either Edward Woods, or Franklin D. Ayer, both were representatives. I have shown a title page here that was part of the ledger, but is not included in the sale. I have 6 more sheets with similar types of art on them and the title page belongs to that set of drawings. It is used here to show the ownership of the ledger that these drawings were taken from. It is unclear which, as both names appear on sheets attached to the drawings. It is assumed that a journal was used and sheets were cut from it and given to the indians that were near either Dartmouth University or, Washington DC. It is specified in the sheets from the journal that either could be true. It was common for members if congress and even the president to visit with the Indians as they came through town. Like many others, they would get their sheets from local business owners’ ledgers, or in this case, the congressional record!!!! The sheets are tinted blue as was all of the Moinier’s sheets that were made for the government. This is an incredible find for the collectors of ledger art as the congressional paper lends a provenance to the work that other ledgers might not carry. On top of that, the artwork itself is absolutely amazing. If the purchaser would like, I can provide a mount for these works that might help in displaying it. I can make a codex sunken mount that would hold all 4 pages and make them safe and very professional for viewing. This mount would cost $150. Please let me know of any questions that you may have and I will do my very best to get them answered for you…even if that means contacting other professionals in the field. Absolutely fascinating art works!!!!
