Footsteps of the Brave -- "With Boundless Vision" by artist Harry Schaare -- Bradford Exchange 1993 -- Third plate in this series. Suggested Retail $60.00
In 1865, while a destructive war between North and South was ending in America, another battle was beginning in the West. The Treaty of Fort Laramie had promised the Sioux nation vast territory on the northern Great Plains, but settlers, gold prospectors, and the cavalry kept encroaching on Indian land.
When the government tried to build a road to Bozeman, Montana, across the Sioux's favorite hunting ground in the Bighorn Mountains, Chief Red Cloud led 16,000 braves on the warpath. After three years of fighting, the government abandoned the Bozeman Trail and guaranteed the Sioux exclusive possession of the entire area in South Dakota west of the Missouri River.
In Plate Three of the Footsteps of the Brave collection, Red Cloud's scouts have just sighted a cavalry column in the distance, and will soon ride back to their chief with news of the Long Knives' advance.
This is the dramatic scene that comes to life in "With Boundless Vision," artist Barry Schaare's masterful portrait of Indian life on the Great Plains. All the splendor of the artist's original oil-on-canvas masterpiece has been re-created for you to enjoy on fine porcelain rimmed in 22-karat gold.
The creation of the fine collet tor's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
