Be one of the select few to own this unique Howard Terpning Collector's Edition. This special matched-number set includes the giclee canvas, "Traders Among the Crow", plus an autographed and matched-numbered Collector's Edition of the book, Terpning: Tribute to the Plains People. This set also includes a complimentary DVD of the new documentary Howard Terpning: Portrait of a Storyteller.

"Traders Among the Crow" received the Thomas Moran Memorial Award for Exceptional Artistic Merit when it was unveiled at the 2012 Masters of the American West Exhibition. The creation of the painting is the centerpiece of the new documentary on Howard’s life, Howard Terpning: Portrait of a Storyteller.

“The period in this scene is 1848–1850,” explains Howard. “These free traders have left the large fur companies and are working on their own. They have entered the edge of a Crow camp with many trade goods to entice the inhabitants to exchange buffalo robes for gun powder, lead, knives, axes, blankets, tobacco and the various other items displayed on the ground. They use a wagon to carry their goods, and perhaps for transportation because the man with the glengarry hat and a cane has an injured leg. (Wagons were used on the Santa Fe Trail as early as 1821 so by the late 1840s they could be found in many out of the way places throughout the Plains.) Howard made the group small to give the scene a sense of intimacy. Of course, there is no telling how many people are surrounding the group pictured.”

"Traders Among the Crow" is Signed by Howard Terpning and its number will match that found in the slipcased book. The slipcase for this Collector’s Edition is designed and hand-crafted by artisans in the United States with archival materials. This beautiful, yet durable, presentation makes it ideal for display. The book itself is from the first printing of Terpning: Tribute to the Plains People and contains a special signed page that was incorporated into the interior during the binding process. This signed page makes this edition unique from the rest of the printing. In addition, this special edition book is numbered to match the number of each "Traders Among the Crow" fine art giclee canvas edition. The set is made complete by an accompanying copy of the DVD Howard Terpning: Portrait of a Storyteller. Over the course of this documentary, you’ll have the chance to watch the painting "Traders Among the Crow" come alive.

Terpning: Tribute to the Plains People – The Collector’s Edition is a triumphant presentation of a spectacular career and a must have for any fan or collector.
