His unique combination of detailed historical accuracy and artistic mastery brings the past to life as few others can. In Coming to Trade, Buxton portrays the co-existence between the French and Native Americans. “This painting an iconic depiction of what drew both sides to tolerate the other in what came to be known as the fur trade,” Buxton says. “Furs from the new world helped finance French expansion and trade items enhanced the living standard of the native nations. Bows and arrows were no longer the preferred hunting method and French cutlery replaced stone axes and knives. Cooking pots, needles and even wire soon became highly prized among the Indians as they became slightly more European. French traders, many of whom lived among the Indians, changed as well. They readily accepted native culture and custom—to the extent that it was difficult to distinguish a Frenchman from his native ally. Though they tried, Jesuit priests were not quite as successful at transforming natives into cultured, God-fearing Frenchmen.” Brand-New in Mint Condition Hand-Signed by John Buxton Canvas Giclee Edition Size: 25 S/N Image Size: 18 X 30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ArtUSA is One of the World's Largest Fine Art Dealers Authorized Dealer for all Major Art Publishers All Works are Guaranteed Authentic New Releases & Rare Sold-Out Editions Contact us with any questions -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
