Borein, edward. Galvin, john. The etchings of edward borein. San francisco: john howell-books, 1971. Illustrated with reproductions of borein’s etchings. First edition. Small folio, brown cloth lettered in gilt, dust jacket (spine lightly sunned). Fine. With a lengthy gift inscription on front flyleaf. '...Now I have come to consider ed borein as the perfect artist of the american west. This is not high praise, but a recognition of the fact that he lived in a time that made him unique. Borein lived his artistic life, working first as a cowboy on cattle ranches, doing a true day's work as a skilled cowpuncher. The people he drew, though they existed in his imagination were well founded in reality, particularly the indians who once rode freely over the west and across america's desert lands, and cowboys who mustered cattle of a long-horned breed that no longer roam the range lands of the united states. ... Borein's drawings and etchings present believable scenes and they present the story of the indians' meetings and conflict with the white man as borein understood them to have been ... It is in his portrayal of a western man on a horse, as a part of man's ability to live his own particular way of life, in his chosen but often hostile environment, that he [borein] is truly superb. ..." -From the introduction.
