Thanks for that, Dietmar.

I'm trying to repost as many of the Cronau images as I can find. Bear with me, because some of them are on an old computer and there may be others I don't have.

I came across this one the other day. It's a different view of Black Bear - I assume the same man posted above but said to be Miniconjou:



This one is, I suspect, done rather later than the Black Bear drawing. I'm sure I've seen it before, so I suspect it's been worked up from a photograph. I've seen a Thomas Mails version of this man, identified as Painted Horse, though it doesn't look like the photos of Painted Horse I'm familiar with:



Someone put me out of my misery and tell me who it is...

Another Sinte drawing collected by Cronau:

Hi Grahame, the second picture is Crazy Bear, but the drawing was made by a modern artist, done from a Rinehart photo.


This is One Bull by Cronau:

Should've guessed it was fake...

Thanks

There are many more of Cronau´s drawings in the book 'IN "WILDEN WESTEN"', but only a few more of them are portraits. I´ll try to scan some of them later...

Here's a print of his drawings done during the visit of a wild west show to Germany:


And 'War Dance of the Sioux':



White Magpie


His Pipe


Rain in the Face


Cronau drawing Hump - I thought there was a separate drawing of Hump, but I haven't been able to find it


Woman with cradle - and the cradle he collected


Another Sinte drawing he collected

Here´s Hump:


'Canchachakee - Buffalo´s Hump, A Chief of the Dakota Sioux, Standing Rock, 1881' by Cronau (Sept. 24, 1881)

[grahamew]

Thanks. I thought we had them all until I came across the second image of Black Bear, so there may be more out there.

Two more drawings out of Cronau´s catalogue:



'A Camp of Dakota Indians Near Standing Rock, North Dakota, 1881', dated 23/9/1881
