Eight individual character sketch offsets on laid paper after George Caleb Bingham (Missouri, 1811-1879), individual Bingham figures that were used in larger well-known scenes such as County Election and Stump Speaking. Published in a limited edition of 500 by Bingham Sketches Inc. in November 1975 (each is numbered 271/500).

Each sheet is unframed, measuring 14" x 11".

Condition

Seven of the sheets are in good condition, noting some bending at the edges and mild overall toning to the sheets. One of the eight sheets (titled Boatman) is in a bit worse condition than the rest, with some stains, rippling, and more pronounced toning.
