Ready-to-Use Old West Cuts : 183 Different Copyright-Free Designs Printed One Side

Rating:
Summary: Excellent compilation of western art graphics
Review: This 32-page-long booklet features 183 copyright-free western illustrations printed one side. The buyer may use the pictures for publication as long as there aren't more than ten included in a project at one time. Carol Belanger Grafton selected black and white graphics covering every Old West theme. There are scenes from the lives of cowboys as well as Native Americans partly illustrated by famous artists such as Frederic Remington or Charles M. Russell. Other artwork can be credited to William de la Montagne Cary, Paul and Jules Tavernier Frenzeny, and Edward Borein, whose rough sketches bring the frontier alive. Motives include western towns, saloon brawls, camp cookouts, cacti, a prairie fire, stagecoaches, buffalo hunts, hangings, wanted posters, a mining camp, cattle brandings, rock formation, railroads, Indian burials, cavalry scenes, shoot-outs, a scalping, Indian raids, bucking horses, and the portrait of Chief Sitting Bull to name a few ones.

This compilation of a wide range of western art graphics is highly recommendable for everyone wanting to illustrate a project about the American frontier as well as for people being interested in American Western history. The illustrations may even serve as inspiration for one's own drawings.
