FIRST EDITION, LIMITED EDITION, number 37 of 200 copies, SIGNED BY REED WITH AN INITIALED ORIGINAL DRAWING BY WIEGHORST depicting the profile of an Indigenous man wearing in a feather headdress in pen on the limitation page.  Denmark-born Weighorst worked with horses throughout his life in various jobs with the U.S. Calvary, as a wrangler, or breaking horses for the New York City Police Department. His knowledge of horses was later useful to him in Hollywood, where he painted from Gene Autry's Champion and Roy Rogers' Trigger and his art was featured in the open titles for the film El Dorado (1966).
