In the Cowboy Collection each plate showcases a different photograph taken by Huffman. The dinnerware is designed to best display the photography while using attractive, high quality material. For example, the dessert plate has a photograph called “The Round Up Cook and Pie Biter at Work”, c. 1890 whereas the dinner plate's rim is artistically patterned with the same image three times of “Throwing the ‘W Bar' Herd on Water”. Each piece has a logo on the reverse, which includes a replication of Huffman's signature. About the photographer: Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) is perhaps the most significant photographer in the West, particularly in the Montana – Wyoming region. He learned photography as an understudy of F. J. Haynes, the famous photographer of Yellowstone National Park . In 1879, Huffman replaced S.J. Morrow as post photographer at Fort Keogh Montana Territory , just two years after Custer's Fight at the Little Big Horn Battlefield. In 1880, Huffman opened his first studio in Miles City, Montana Territory, where he became well known for his photography and artistically documented an era gone by.L.A. Huffman's camera captured the Cowboy and Native American culture, the buffalo herds, the burgeoning cattle and sheep industry. His legacy provides us with life portraiture of the Northern Plains and the pioneering aspects of the area - ranch life, wildlife, frontier town views and Yellowstone National Park . Each set comes with the above information about the artist on a decorative card. The photography comes from the private collection of Thomas Minckler Fine Art.
