Scope and Content Notes
Page from an album with photograph pasted onto the paper. Image is of Charlie Russell bronze ashtray. Pasted on the back is a text panel that reads: 'The buffalo was a favorite subject, frequently modelled, sketched and painted by Russell. The artist hired out as a cowboy to work the last great roundup of these animals for shipment to a Canadian reservation. This model was completed by Russell, in wax, in the last year of his life--1926.'
