Roland Reed " The Fisherman" signed on reverse in upper right hand corner, RF Williams was Reed's nephew who worked the Minneapolis Studio while Reed ran the Montana office. Image size is 19"x15.5". Roland (Royal Jr.) W. Reed (June 22, 1864 – December 14, 1934), an American artist and photographer, was part of an early 20th century group of photographers of Native Americans known as pictorialists. Pictorialists were influenced by the late 19th Century art movement, Impressionism, and their photography was characterized by an emphasis on lighting and focus. Rather than record an image as it was, pictorialists were more interested in re-creating an image as they thought it might have been.
