Ledger Art is a term for Plains Indian narrative drawing or painting on paper, primarily from the mid-19th century to the 1930s, but also continuing into the present. The term comes from the accounting ledger books that were a common source for paper for Plains Indians during the late 19th century. Ledger art evolved from hide painting. When buffalo and other hide became scarce after eradication programs encouraged by the US Federal government, Plains artists began painting and drawing on paper. An increasing supply of ledger books and other paper came from traders, government agents, missionaries, and military officers. With these came pencils, ink fountain pens, crayons, and watercolor paints. These new tools allowed for greater detail and experimentation than the earlier tools, such as bone or wood styli dipped in mineral pigments, had. The compact ledger books and pencils were highly portable, making them ideal for nomadic lifestyles.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"original-ledger-art-full-circle","title":"Original Ledger Art: Full Circle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Full Circle,\" by Native American artist, Evans Flammond, Sr., (Rosebud Sioux Tribe), is a colored pencil and ink drawing on antique ledger paper dated 1905.
