Included in this lot is Hanging Mirror reproduction of the original Charles M. Russell water color, "At The End Of The Rope", made for the New Montana Bar "It's Still The Old Reliable" 2624 Minnesota Ave. Billings, Mont., circa 1950s-1960s. Charles Russell was the "other" artist (besides Frederic Remington) who chronicled life in the Wild West. Unlike Remington, Russell settled permanently in the west (Montana) and wholeheartedly embraced everything life there had to offer. He was a "real" cowboy, lived with a mountain man and was an adopted brother of the Blackfoot tribe. His oils, watercolors and bronzes reflect an intimate knowledge of his subjects. Published by the Vernon Company of Newton, Iowa which specialized in advertising and marketing promotional items, the reverse of the mirror says, "At The End Of The Rope" is a reproduction of an original water color by Charles M. Russell. Often we hear of the passing of the Old West - but one cowboy artist who lived in all its color and adventure, has captured it forever. Charles M. Russell lived in the West for forty-four years, from the age of fifteen on. His life was that of the frontier and his paintings are authentic in every detail. All the excitement of the old range lives on in this picture, which recaptures and embodies the spirit of the cowpunchers' daily life. His paintings are considered the most valuable of any Western frontier life pictures. Will Rogers said of Charlie Russell, "We just don't raise no more of his kind of men." "At the End of the Rope" is one of Charlie Russell's most famous paintings.The Vernon Company, Newton, Iowa copyright by H. E.
