Remarks

During the Reservation Era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, a new and unique art form appeared: the ledger drawing. Artists documented pictorial histories on pages of ledger books, in the style of traditional hide paintings. Today, many artists create contemporary paintings inspired by ledger art.
