Included in this lot is a Charles M. Russell "Salute of the Robe Trade" Lithograph on Board, circa 1950s, framed. The artwork depicts a Native American tribe on horseback with various weapons riding down hill accompanied by their dogs. The background of the piece features a mountain range in the far distance with a canyon and river in the forefront. Adjacent to the river is a fort. The artwork depicts a historic meeting and exchange between Native Americans and European-American fur traders, a theme Russell revisited often to document the changing culture of the frontier.

Known as 'the cowboy artist', Russell was also a storyteller and author. The piece is signed in the bottom left corner "C.M. Russell" with a copyright symbol.
