Winold Reiss (1886 - 1953) was a German-born American artist and graphic designer, who painted over 250 portraits of Native Americans. These prints by the Great Northern Railroad date to the 1940s. Reiss had been captivated in his youth by tales of the American wild west widely circulated in the imaginative accounts of the German author Karl May. Reiss had also read, in translation, the works of James Fennimore Cooper. In January 1920, Reiss realized his dream of traveling west to Indian country. He went with a student to the Blackfoot Reservation in Browning, Montana. Thus began a relationship with Native Americans that lasted all of his life.
