Relics of the Past- The Buffalo Head- Cooper, A.D.M.
This type of still life painting is often called a trompe l'oeil (fool the eye). The artist sought to create the illusion that real photographs and artifacts were nailed to the wall. Buffalo Bill Cody owned this painting and had it hanging in the Irma Hotel for many years.
Buffalo Hunt- Rumsey, Charles Cary- The bronze is derived from the original limestone created in 1909-1910 to place over the fireplace of the music room in the Harriman Mansion.
